Looking into those eyes,
Now that you're gone.
I wish I could of given you everything...
I can still remember the day,
I walked down that isle to you.
Standing there infront of me,
Ready to start new.
That day passed so quickly,
And so did the years and the months.
And that is when it happened,
The day that changed us both.
I know you wanted a child,
And I couldn't give it to you.
I remember your sobs and anger,
And I would of given the world to you.
So standing here today,
Beside your casket, dear.
I am so sorry I couldn't give you a child,
That we would of loved still.
I am sorry I was a dissapointment,
And a wife that wasn't perfect.
I am sorry I let you down,
Now that you aren't here.
Author notes
I can only imagine what it would be like for a woman not to be able to give her husband a child, and the pain after he died would be immence! This is written in the perspective of that woman, as I am too young to be married or even think of children.

This was a nice poem. There were some spelling and grammer errors.
I am sorry that you couldn't give your husnand a child. Have you considered adopting? I know that it isn't your own but you could love another child just as you would if it was. I have been blessed with two daughters and I am even planning on adopting another child. Give a child that doesn't have anything to live for something to look foward to.
Thanks for entering my contest!

Another amazing piece Tiffany, and I like how you're able to put yourself in another's shoes, and view from the etes of a stranger...You truly have a gift to be able to do that, and how well you expressed this piece as well...Love the words, and flow....Keep'em coming sweet soul, and good-luck in this contest as well, although I doubt you'll need it!
You got skills!
