I think of you often
and make no outward show,
But what it means to lose you,
no one will ever know
You wished no one farewell,
not even said good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
You are not forgotten
nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memories last,
I will remember thee.
To some you may be forgotten,
to others a part of the past,
But to me who loved you dearly,
your memories will always last.
Nothing can be more beautiful
than the memories I have of you.
To me, you were someone special,
God must have thought so too!
If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane,
I would walk all the way to Heaven,
and bring you back again.

God Bless you Otto
When I read "Granny Smith" on Sunday Scribblings and saw that her husband had died from a fall, I was deeply saddened.. I did not know him. I had only read Granny's blog a few times, but seeing this news seemed to affect me deeply. I felt saddened for her loss. I thought about the sorrow of losing a loved one. I know Otto would have enriched my life if I had ever known him. Granny, I send this poem to you with sadness in my heart. My heart is with you. May God bless Otto and may God be with you in your time of sorrow.

What a lovely tribute. I had posted my piece before I read of Granny's loss, so I returned to add a piece to my post. I've linked to two of her posts about Otto, including a beautiful poem, "The Old Lovers" you would like to read, I'm sure. Their love has been such an inspiration to many, many of us.
Granny Smith and her Otto have touched many lives and she'll continue to do so - she has much more to tell... This is a lovely poem and a wonderful way to offer solace and tribute!
what a sweet poem. i heard about this when i went thru my sun scrib rounds. i'm so sorry to hear it. i would likely cry if this were read at a funeral.
What a nice way to pay tribute.
