Widow's Holiday
No flowers came for me today,
No card with love so true
No gentle pat or warm caress
No gifts to me from you.
No tender kiss while in your arms
No words of love I hear
No holding hands or secrets told
No vision of you near.
Sweet memories are all I have
To get me through the day
Echoes of precious moments lived
Close to my heart to stay.

I remember seeing this sketch once before Jeanne and thinking then what a lovely memento it is for you. The poem is a beautiful addition to the sketch. Your sentiment is clear and strong. Well done. Both were created with obvious love and compassion.
