To My Husband
As I watch your life, slipping away
We share all the things we want to say
We have time to reflect, encourage and love
To be grateful with warmth, to look beyond and above
We remember the good and laugh at the bad
And take time to listen and embrace the sad
It is a rich time, this time that we have
What has been, what is now, is what will be had
As your strength fades, and your eyes slowly dim
We look beyond the body you are in
When death approaches and your final breath taken
We know your spirit, will soar with elation
You will look at this world and say your goodbyes
And peace will take you as you pass through the sky’s
All the best for your journey
Your loving wife
My husband was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer we only had a few months to say goodby and make peace. It was the richest time of our marriage
