"I Still Hold You, My Forever Love"

Susan Stanford 2022 (Chattanooga)



I held you in my arms that day; I watched you as you slipped away.  I held you closer, I cried don't go; don't leave me Robert, oh please oh no!  And as you took your last breath; it was as though you took mine.  I have just one regret, that is...that we didn't have more time.  Thirty- six years we shared together; and we were rarely apart. Most were filled with precious memories; those I hold dear to my heart...........Therefore, I still hold you, my forever love.
