Description: My good friend Nic Ashley died Two Tuesdays ago. He meant the world to me and I don't know what I will do without him. He was everything....and everything he taught me was amazing...he is the best teacher I have ever had.
Walking Down the Aisle -------------------------------------------
Walking down the aisle
I remember seeing your smiling face
As if you had no problems
And your life was full of grace
I recall it as if it were yesterday
Although it was over 14 years ago
I remember everything, I remember it all
Especially the way you teased me just so
Walking down the aisle
We begin to file into our seats
Chatting away anxiously
Waiting for the Pastor to begin his speech
Always singing together
Even though we were always off-tune
Still loving every moment
And hoping to do it again soon
Walking down the aisle
She begins to smile at you
She has yearned for this very day
And the long awaited "I do"
Love was something we both hoped for
Something that we always dreamed of
We alwys wanted to find that "special" someone
And you were lucky enough to find your true love
Walking down the aisle
My wondering eyes began to fill with tears
Praying we could bring you back
Making this reality just another fear
God decided to call you back home
To the place he needed you the most
Sitting directly by his side
Praising Him, the Heavenly host
Walking down the aisle
I will remember all that you have taught me
All of the times that we have spent together
And the person you have taught me to see
This is a lovely heartfelt poem! I am so sorry for your loss! This friend obviously meant a great deal to you and this poem reflects some of how dear he was to you. You did a wonderful job writing this and I imagine it must have been very difficult to do. It is a great poem! Best wishes and take care!
Hi, This is a beautiful, passionate inspirational devotional write. First, I'm so sorry you lost someone who meant so much. A special someone always have a special place in your heart. You understood God called him home, and you accepted this. We keep the special ones alive with memories. Of course missing them physically hurt, but we can keep them alive in our hearts and minds. I do believe you are a strong person, stronger than you might think. Your friend would want you to continue on. Continue writing and keep that person's memory alive. A great write! Take care...give yourself a big hug from me!lol. wanda
What a wonderful, heartfelt tribute to your friend. I'm sure Nic is smiling from above, a sparkling smile just for you! I can relate to this because I have had recent losses in my life too, and I, too, have prayed that my two sons had not really died, and that it was just a natural fear of every parent. But, no, it's very real, and I am reminded of it every day that goes by, and I don't see their smiling faces, or hear their voices on the telephone. I wonder, though, did you marry shortly after Nic? Is it you walking down the aisle with your own true love, just wishing that Nic could still be here so he could share the moment with you? Sorry if I'm wrong, hon, but that's what I felt...My sympathies to you in your great loss. I know that it isn't much at a time like this, but I have to tell you anyways...keep on being strong, because Nic needs all of your positive energy for the first few months to get to where he needs to be - and negative energy will hold him down, and prevent him from soaring to the heights of where he is meant to be. God bless you, and bring your heart comfort during this time of tragic loss. My heart goes out to you, more than I can say... luv cher
where or was the person in the poem getting married and then the other died..what is that what I am getting here or did I miss something? Anyway the poem in a whole I think could have been shorter only cause I felt it was about a stanza or two too long. The rhyme in a few oplaces seemed a little forced but nothing serious(ex:stanza 2 and 6) good imagery though--heart felt write LT
