Fifty Percent Poem by Tom Higgins

A friend of mine suffered tragedy
She lost the love of her life.
He was her loving husband
She will always be his wife.

He passed on whilst still young
As many seem to do,
There is no rhyme or reason
As to why or when or who.

Some years have passed but the hurt
She feels is just as strong
As is the love she has for him
It will last her whole life long.

She never will forget how they
Together had a very special thing.
Right from the day they first met
And before the wedding ring

Each of them knew that they
Were meant to be together,
That feeling still resides in her
And it will last forever.
