Return to Archive Poem by: John The Day I Lost My Wife And Kids The Day I Lost My Wife And Kids,I once had five beautiful children of my own A wife, two cars, and a very nice home My life was perfect and I was happy as can be I had everything I had ever wanted right down to a tee My hopes and dreams were fulfilled like never before We would all be a happy family forever more But then one tragic day, my life fell apart I lost my wife, my kids, my home, and two cars Everything I had worked for, all of my answered prayers It all just crumbled at my feet, fell apart layer by layer My wife, the love of my live, was gone forever Her lips, her hair, I would never kiss or touch again ever My five children all died on that same tragic day Along with my wife, they all left me and met their graves The tombstones lined up in the back of my mind The most horrible pain I've felt, in any way or any kind The truth is, this poem is about me loosing my hopes and dreams This was my future and it all went down the stream Those kids were never born, I never got to see their faces I bet they would have looked like me and their mother, in all their little places I never even got to marry this great love of my life In reality, this beauty never did become my wife We never bought that first home together and those two cars Now many nights I still glance up to pray and wish on the stars That someday she would come back to me and my life would be restored If not, then I fear that I will be unhappy forever more
