The Life I Should Of Continued To Have by Terrie*

the life I should have continued to have

four settings at the table
a two family income home
his n her vehicles in the garage

the man I love and
a king size bed to share
late night walks
around the block

sunday fishing
you, our son & the dogs
weekday afternoons at the park
watching your team play baseball

our little family dinning out every friday night
sat afternoons at church
singing in tune
special father/daughter afternoons

sat night romantic getaways
just you and I

the fragrance of your cologne
& your manly scent on our sheets as well as on me
waking up to a sweet embrace and a loving kiss

our only ups and downs in life would be between our sheets
breakfast in bed lying next to you
calling in sick to spend the afternoon in bed

snow trips for all of us to share
going to the lake with you at the wheel
talking a trip up to the mountains
just to star gaze into the night

snuggling up watching a movie while the kids are away for the weekend
oil massages, candle light bath,

while it is only you and i
early morning passion shower for two
making love in every room

all the things you taught me
I should have continued to share with you
but...instead I'm only dreaming and wishing you here
as I close my eyes and think of the life
I should of continued to have

This Is Great
Terrie, This was great, I cryed reading that this would have been a life I'd have wished for. Time is getting late in years for this to happen now, and when I think I am heading this way I seem to be told I give to much I love to much everyday and they walk away.
Still a great poem thank you for writing,
your friend Clive

Thank you Clive...
thanx for your comment.....what is bad...loving too much or too little ? well...all i know is that either way is far betta then not loving at all..my husband loved too much unconditionally w/o smothering or setting limits, my love in return was neither greater nor lesser and on top of it all we still managed to give ea. other space to breath ...once our number is up , we can't very well take that w/us now can we? so why not love too much...continue to love as you do..there is nothing wrong w/loving lots..and sweetie it is neva too late for love....thanx 'gain Terrie*
