Inspirational Poem
My Dear Wife died tonight,
to see her when she was so still,
was a very sad sight.
It's hard to imagine her not around or to hear her make a loving sound
I won't be seeing her any more,
it's the end of her life and a closing door.
She loved her mother above all
and when Grandma died Joanne stood tall
I and writing this rhyme because I
can't sleep.
May thoughts are all sad and very deep.
When I saw my wife alive to-day
I knew it was time to pray.
I cried by her bed she looked so very bad,
Made me feel so sad.
I loved this lady, should of told her more often
too late now, but she will never be
forgotten.
Loving husband Harvey Sr.
