Twenty six years
Long stay
Then life must change
Imagine that's all you have ever known,
in life everyone should be happy,
that should be shown
A few years later
You came along,
at times we both felt not strong
He does not judge
He sees you as you are
He does not listen,
to what others say by far
His own opinions of you,
is what enables him,
to see what is true
When there was no one there,
just love and care
The journey in a working life,
he stayed and never left
A lot of information he reads,
but he knows it supports the needs
He never complains,
only supporting the life reins
He has faced bereavement,
and great loss,
in the last few years
A father,
then grandfather,
both close together,
but we both empathised,
as we both faced a loss
of looking into a father's eyes,
while breath passes through,
their bodies and the skies
I will forever be thankful for you,
and I will love you,
even when I live my eternal life too
