Poem Title:
Poem
today i saw A white car with big antennas in the back Out stepped a man in a uniform of blue and black He knew my name as if I have seen him before My heart had sank to the floor He said my name is officer green I was the first to arrive on the scene My hands were shaken,my legs wouldn’t stand I had to sit down clinch to my wedding band I closed my eyes and hoped for the best My heart felt like it was going to pound right through my chest Officer green said I’m so deeply sorry to meet you like this He said its not easy for me to say as he clinched his wrist You could see him swallow then take a deep breath of air Officer said my intentions today was not to bring anyone despair. I finally asked him if he would just say what he needed to say my nerves are shot and with my emotions you cant play Officer said there was a wreck and I did what I could But he didn’t make it and I deeply hopped he would I looked at officer green;my eyes filled with a tear Told him my world is flipped ,my husband is no longer here No more late movies or holding each other in the dark no more afternoon picnics after a stroll in the park I told him our anniversary was just around the corner you see Its just not fair his life and mine have been taken from me Officer said sorry is there anything you would like me to do I was so upset I screamed BRING MY HUSBAND BACK WOULD YOU down on my knees crying you must have it wrong the last thing he said is I love you honey I wont be gone for long Reality sank in but it took quite a while My husband is gone its true there’s no more denial Officer green gave me his card said don’t hesitate to call if a need arise my heart goes out to you and I will listen to all your cries Officer said I am not suppose to hug you but going to instead You are my mom I love you hope you don’t blame me cause dad is dead I made sure I was the officer to tell you so it might maybe give a little ease Mom even though I am an officer tell me it is ok to cry please Mom I wish my visit was just to sit and talk It is the hardest thing ever harder than learning to walk Mom I know I am an officer and suppose to stay tough dad died in my arms mom ,that hurts my days ahead rough My shift is over mom I will be here and stay by your side Mom I know dad is in heaven waiting to see his son and lovely bride Now as you drive along road one hundred and ten You will see a fathers and husbands cross standing just around the bin
