In loving memory of our beloved William J. Cubbage who passed away five years ago today.

Broken

To no longer see your face

Breaks me every day

So suddenly you were taken

That I didn’t get to say

Just how much I love you

And that you were my life

The hurt I felt when you passed

Cut me like a knife.

I’ll never be complete again

I never will be free

From this grief, a solid thing

Deep inside of me.

I wear a mask of coping

But am in complete despair

I cannot mend what’s broken

My heart’s beyond repair.

I’ll smile if I have to

But that is just a mask

And I’ll say that I’m OK

When people kindly ask.

But I cannot be happy

It is something that I lack

Never will be whole again

For I cannot get you back.

From,

Your loving Wife Jean

and Family
