Dearest wife,
As I look down upon you from the heavens my love grows for you with each passing day. Remember the island? Where we spend most of our time together. The velvety warm sand on our feet, the warm sun tanning our bodies as the salt water splashes upon our skin, clenching our thirst. Remember our nights together? You dancing to the beat of my guitar? A smile planted firmly on my lips. When I saw the sheer joy in your eyes. Knowing you was happy there on that island and with me of all people. I was truly the lucky one. Everyday spent with you was just I can't even express the words. I had waited all my life to find someone as beautiful, as intelligent and as caring as you are. Our love survives all boundaries not even death can destroy my love for you. As I look down on you, my heart is troubled at not being able to comfort you. Your tears streak your face, and the dark cloud of where I used to be; shadows your every movement. I wish I could tell you that everything is fine. That we will soon be together for eternity, where you finally join me. To be able to tell not to remember me as I am now, but to remember as I was then. So to you my love I wish to express this to you. Think of me in all the elements of nature. Remember us on the island; the sun caressing your bare skin is my heated touch. The rain drowning you in my love, the wind whispering a secret in your ear. When our baby laughs for no reason that’s me telling our daughter a joke and so to you my love I bid my farewell. I will see you when your time comes.
Your loving husband

Great job and goodluck in my contest.

I love the way you incorporated the child's laugh as being a joke from her father, passed down for the mother to hear. That was definately a tender, thoughtful touch.

A wonderful piece that embraces the elements of nature and human nature and weaves them together like a comforter,may I tentatively just make an observation,re "clenching thirst" perhaps this may be "quenching thirst?" not a criticism but just a query,the beauty of creativity is that we have the liberty to be creative after all and this piece is certainly that.Good luck in the contest

Very touching. A memory to focus on when days seem long and the strength has left ones body. You provide them with the will to survive. Best of luck in the contest.
