Get Ready

Hour after hour, I was sitting there, 
the time unknown, 
deep in prayer.

Her hand I held, but she was unaware,
I was all alone,
in much dispare.

I wish we'd had, more times to share,
while I was grown,
it isn't fair.

This is more, than even I can bear,
no mercy shown,
or life to spare.

Her breathe is short, and she is gasping air,
I hear her moan,
and I prepare.

The time has come, and this I swear,
it will be known,
there's no compare,
the love we share!

Hello beverly Robert, it sounds like you lost a pet. A dog or cat? Pets are part of the family. She or he will be with you in memories of good times you shared. It is nice to meet you. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/
