Another Milestone Poem by Jonathan Goldman a.k.a JGthepoet

Darling Lili, in two weeks time it will be the day,
When all around will honour you,
For you will celebrate your Sixty-Fifth Birthday,
But yet again, I will not be with you.

Each day, each hour of every day,
I think of you, come what may,
And wish that we could together be,
To enjoy each other's company.

The days are long without you there,
But rest assured that I do care,
About how you are, and what you do,
But of my thoughts you are not always aware.

I have planned my Life with thoughts of you,
Daily, Hourly, and Weekly too,
To make things right and the Future good,
And hoped that you fully understood ~

That now we are both working less,
And my illness has caused this financial mess,
My prayers are for a future bright,
For us both to do what is right.
