Godspeed

To my husband of 54 years

Will you sail with me to a far away land,
stand by me when I am alone?
Hold me a moment and take my hand,
when my task here on earth is done?
.
We crossed a dessert in storm and rain
Together, we conquered life’s task.
We stumbled; we fell and got up again.
Will we go where we came from? I ask.

All doubts and worries tip-toed away.
A voice in the still, I heard say:
“Don’t be afraid; I was, I am, I will be
beside you and guide you, everyday.”
