Lee Geoghegan Poet Rhyme

Coming To Terms

Heed this call, my son, for my heavenly realm awaits
Familiar faces wait patiently beyond the gates
You stated proudly that you've lived your dream
Your wife was your river, and children your stream
 
I admire your fighting spirit, refusing to give in
Willing to give anything to remain in your skin
I shall bless you now with my ethereal light
Then I'll take you with me on this dark night
 
A painful path beckons for your loving wife to follow
Her journey will be filled with heart-wrenching sorrow
Tossed within a tumultuous sea
Your children will struggle to live without thee
 
Their purpose now is to develop and grow
Without the pillar of strength they have come to know
Tears will flow, and courage they will gain
For however many years here, they shall remain

Souls on this earth seek to enhance their inner light
Some require darkness, so their eternal spirit may burn bright
I can see you’ve come to terms and found inner peace
Knowing you’ll be reunited when their lives here cease
 
I finally comprehend the purpose of this life
And the immeasurable pain endured by my beloved wife
I promise, in time, you’ll surely come to know
My passing was meant to be so; it was for you that I let go

Bill Baker November 3, 2023 at 3:28 PM A deep and meaningful poem, Lee. All loss in this world is temporary, in the end all will be as it was meant to be. I've experienced the type of pain you share with us in this poem. The agony, and the chaotic life that follows; and the blessings of new strength and faith once God brought me through it. Without God I wouldn't be on this earth anymore. Everything I do now is to acknowledge Him and my salvation from the hell I was in. Thanks for sharing from your heart, my friend.
