Our son was in the hospital with a pretty bad case of meningitis. I wrote this when my wife took her turn staying at the Hospital...

As I lay down in our bed, lonely and alone

I rest my head on your pillow

Curled up in the dark, the smell of your hair surrounds me

I miss your breath on my face

your body next to mine

Your soft warm embrace

in the dark the distance seems so great

I am yearning, hoping, longing for your swift return

Thank you. My wife loves these things, but I've always wondered if they were good or just good to her!

About 2 years ago a started a book which is just poems for her. This year I'm doing something different. We saved every letter we've written in the more than 20 years we've been together.

I am organizing them chronologically as best I can and transcribing them into a book(s) for her to be able to read through. We started writing to each other when I was 17 and she was 15. It will be a nice history for us to look back on and for the kids to have when we are gone.
