this is a poem for a person who played a big patr in my life

she gave me two daughters and when she was sick didn't complain

sadly past away and left a great hole in our lives she stood tall and

i will always love and miss her

In the darkness I hear you crying In the dark I feel your body shake. I want to say it will be alright but What difference would it make. I put my arms around you to try to Make things better. But your tears keep on coming and You show me the doctor's letter. I put my arms around you to say it Will be okay. But I feel so useless when your pushing Me away. I tell you that I love you and the pain you Have we share. So remember that when your ready I will always be there.

my heart aches after reading your poem, Paul. I'm just sorry you lost your wife. I can only imagine the hole in your heart and life. Sometimes when people experience ongoing pain, they're so distressed they push people away...it's not personal...just a way of expressing desperation and anger....so don't fret about that...blessings, Sara
