Mimi My Wife (Written January 1, 2002)
The following poem was written on January 1, 2002 about five weeks after my wife died. I just found it again recently. In looking back in retrospect at the words I wrote then I feel that I cannot have any anger because of some of the things that have happend in my life and in business and in the country. It is better to take the "Road Not Taken" or to give and help rather than harbor bitterness and anger. This is part of my life except where there may be legal proceedings.
Mimi My Wife (Written January 1, 2002)
Twenty-five years of my life,
Forty percent of my life,
My Heart belongs to you,
My Mind belongs to you,
My Spirit belongs to you.
You have been the calmer of my life,
You taught me patience,
You taught me restraint,
You showed me tenderness,
You helped me grow into Spiritual Love.
You gave me peace,
You gave me happiness,
You gave me unending Love,
You never nagged or argued,
In 25 years we only argued once.
I feel empty like an egg shell with nothing,
Your wishes are my life,
In your art I find you,
In your art I feel you,
In your art there is you.
