She means the world to me,
I cannot simply “let it be.”
We were joined for so many years,
In anguish I ponder with tears.
It’s huge having someone to abide,
A strong tower there at your side.
She was my companion, who compares,
I took her for granted, unawares.
Together we had some fun in life,
Although mixed with strife.
Should reconciliation be in the picture?
Would that serve to make us “richer”?
That begins with God in the heart,
Only He can bring a fresh start.
Jesus is the One Who can heal,
It’s to Him we must appeal.
I know I didn’t do all things well,
I experienced heaven and raised hell.
If only we had focused more on “forever,”
We may have remained in this life together.
Because I didn’t show my love for her,
She didn’t know what to infer.
I should have loved her like Christ,
If anything that would suffice.
She endured as long as she could,
I cannot blame her, even though I would.
She put up with all she could stand,
No longer willing to hear my command.
It’s all in the Sovereign plan of God,
He leads on the path we are to trod.
And so, learning to be content in life,
I continue with Him without the strife.

Robert:
What a wonderful and inspiring poem. You should continue writing such inspirational poems and then see if our good friends at Howard Publishing would publish them. So many husbands (and wives) could learn from the inspirational message of your poem.
In your email, you were doing a survey, and I feel that your continual searching spirit should inspire others to search the scriptures, not to confirm that which we have already set our minds to, but so that we may grow, change and mature. Your continued studying has always been an inspiration to me.
