A Dreadful Morning
A dreadful morning
He never thought it was goodbye until it happened,
An ordinary day it was, filled with the joys of a new day,
The world was in harmony and the sound of the birds made it more peaceful.
She awoke as usual as she normally did,
Extra cheerful she felt that day,
An amazing day she had in mind.
She took an extra hot bath and applied her favorite lotion. Perfume was not needed as her scent was more powerful than any fragrance could offer.
Excited she became as she left the house,
Goodbye to all she waved as she got into her favorite SUV,
The gate slightly opened behind her and as she reversed a loud bang broke the peaceful morning.
Her body became cold in an instant,
Her bright eyes were shut tight by the hand of her husband,
The tears he shed fell slowly on to his wife’s body.
She was no more.
He never thought the morning goodbye would be the last of it all,
But the will of God had taken over.
He stood in hurt with his family next to him,
But forever he knew his wife would love and guide them,
And in his heart she will forever remain.
