Your Dying Spouse 581 - Barbara, I Love You! {FMF}

On this Valentine's Day, I could not face my own death in better company.

Pain today has been beyond all rational understanding, but I am nonetheless the luckiest man alive.

What confidence remains in me, I draw from Barbara's strength. (Confident is this week's Five Minute Friday word-prompt.)

In some sweet place ere hell came down

to mutilate and make of life

a scourging and a thorny crown,

I courted me a wife.

We met upon the Internet

and love grew from afar

so that when we finally met

I knew I’d found my Star.

Romance was never in my blood

and ‘fluttery’? Not really,

but for Barb there came a flood

of heart-tide…oh so freely!

Darling, in these days of wracking pain

your love sustains; I’d do it all again.

Music from The Beatles, with Here, There, and Everywhere.

Thanks to Carol Ashby, Blessed Are The Pure Of Heart is back on Kindle, and will be available in paperback soon.

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.
