The sad account of my wife's death
A Healing Rain
One night I lay down beside my wife
During that night she surrendered her life
When I awoke, I cried out, “Oh God please no!”
A calm voice said, “Son you must let her go.”
We were together as man and wife for 51 years
I’m going to need a large towel to dry the tears
Family gathers around trying to ease the pain
My tears keep falling, like a healing rain
Though it will be hard for me to do it,
I know that somehow, I will get through it
So, pray for me to remain strong
And I will try my best to do no wrong
I am convinced that one day we’ll meet again
At the time reserved for the resurrection
After I have hugged her and I have kissed her
I will tell her how much the family and I missed her
We’ll face the future together,
Vowing to never again be apart
It will be a grand reunion
Of the spirit and the heart.

Poem of the Month contest entry
One of my dear friends (Debi Pick Marquette) and so many other dear friends here at FanStory have started and contributed to a book in memory of this saddest event to happen to me ever, the death of my dear wife, Yvonne Miller. My appreciation of this kind gesture, knows no bounds. I myself had written a poem about how I felt and how her death affected me. You might wonder how I could do it. I am a writer, and I wanted to capture on paper how I felt at the time, so that I could at a later date and time see how I felt. You see, I anticipate a day when the details will be cloudy and hard to remember.
