Letter to a fellow Christian
After a week,
of being pricked and probed in the Hospital
My father signed himself out
stating he was tired and was going home
adding he did not have cancer!
CONFUSION....DENIAL!!
So now he sits at home ...
as death quickly surrounds him...
stealing him away
from his wife of 55 years....
his mind flickering
as if a light slowly dimming out
If only he would of know...
Before taking that fatal nap
He would of kissed her good-bye
Oh yes indeed,
He would of professed his deep undieing LOVE!
He would of given her
a dozen beautiful fresh roses, just one more time...
He would of held her tight
and expressed his deep sorrow for this rude
and untimely departure...
He would of penned her one last Love letter
expressing his graditude for her loyal devotion
and faithful companionship...
He would of gazed into her eyes
wrapped his arms around her
and kissed her with deep passion
just one last time...
She sits by his side a dazed look on her face
trying hard to understand
what has happened these past few weeks...
He is dieing and she cannot grasp the reality of it
or even try to explain this to him
his mind could not comprehend
or even believe her words...
So she sits there watching him suffer
and slowly slip away
any day he will be gone forever...
Soon,
He will take his last step
Soon,
He will see the sun,moon & stars
for the last time
Soon,
He will say his last word
Soon,
He will give his last kiss
Soon,
He will eat his last meal
Soon,
He will see his family
for the last time
Soon,
He will close his eyes
and take his last breath
Yes soon,
My Mothers Heart shall break
Perhaps one morning she will wake up
and find he has silently slipped away with the angels...
Leaving behind an empty shell
that once contained her soul mates
inner soul...
Very soon she shall be alone
a life long friendship
will come to an abrupt end.....
an old wrinkled, frail and gentle lady
will loose her life long partner
how will she ever survive
in this harsh cold world
her Alfa male will be no more...
Soon,
she will sit and stare at the empty chair
that once held her protecter, her leader, her man
Soon,
she will sit alone in a huge empty house
she once called home
Soon,
she will know the pain of deathly silence
Soon,
she will crawl alone into a huge
cold empty bed
Yes, only to soon,
her world shall be abruptly stolen from her
In a flash of a moment
the reality she has known for half a century
will cease to exist...forever
She will soon sit by his empty chair
in a big empty house
in a huge empty world
in an enormous empty universe
(or so it will all seem)
... A dazed look on her face...
This once regal and youthful beauty
will search and ponder her memories
as she holds a picture frame
with her fine aged wrinkled hands
that she will not reconize as her own...
Their long life togeather
flashing before her eyes
she shall wonder
if it was not all but a dream...
How can half a century pass so fast?
she will ask, and how will I go on alone?
Forever she shall remain
glancing across the room
expecting him
to walk in at any given moment
Until the day she realizes
he is never coming back home
ever again...
She will then know
he has crossed over
and in true form, he remains his true self
preparing the way
for his eternal bride
into the spiritual world
as he always did
in the mortal world
The Alpha male never leaves, He just moves forward
and secures his mates future passage to eternity
SOFT RAIN
