I seem to wait for you these days,
like longing for the sun to rise after a sleepless night.
When believing that the bright morning rays
that cast shadows across my floor,
will remove this need from my heart.
And still I wait.
I wait for you like the excited child before a birthday.
Eager and keen for the day to start
when all the surprises and fun will begin.
But you never come to bring these joys to me!
I know you can’t…I know you would… I know…
I’m still waiting for you when I look at the night sky
filled with twinkling jewels.
I look again for you as I enter the house alone.
I’m waiting to see those laughing eyes, black as coal-chips
and the smile that always took my breath away.
I’m waiting…
The tears fall as I write this and you would have been
so mad,
mad with me for being sad – but I’m waiting to hear your
luscious voice once more.
I seem to wait a lot these days.
I know you can’t make it right.
I know you can’t…I know you would…I know…

Susie,
No words of mine can express my appreciation of your wonderful poetry. I am just so sad that you cannot be writing under much happier circumstances with Hamada at your side……
Oh Susie, how you love your man. Beautifully expressed from your heart. May you take consolation in knowing that the separation is temporary and one day you will spend eternity together!
Susie you have reduced me to tears,my heart hurts for your loss and how much you hurt and miss Hamada. Nothing I can say will make it any better. Just know that I think of you almost everyday,hoping its getting a little easier.All my love Karen xxx
Hugs…
This is beautiful, Susie. Don’t forget to look up at the sky, he is there watching over you and smiling that smile.
You seem always to find just the right combination of words to share effectively the power of your love for Hamada and I know he must find ways to let you know he hears you for his love for you is always present – a song, a brush of the wind on your cheek, something found that brings him into sharp focus at that moment… blessings during this Easter season to you… and hugs
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!!!
I know …. ♥
Exquisite words as usual Susie xxx
oh how well you have voiced what I identify so strongly with. Absolutely beautiful, heart-breaking and poignant x
Susie, The picture of the Easter Lilies said it all, and then, your beautiful expressions of the great love shared by you and Hamada were frosting on the cake, or should I say all that needed saying?
Susie, my darling husband told me last night he was slipping. 6 years of fighting myeloma and I fear we are getting close to the inevitable. I find great strength when I read your blog. Thank you for reaching out and bringing light and love. Susan Patterson, Denver
Thank you kind lovely people who have supported me through this time and for your wonderful comments left here. For those also grieving, I pray I do not make you too sad with my simple words.
My heart goes out today to Susan Patterson who is now facing the hardest part of the dreadful disease of Multiple Myeloma. I ask respectfully to please add her name to your prayers as I will do also. My thoughts are with you during these coming days Susan . Blessings strength and love. x
