Her Suicide
Her Suicide
Her husband said he was leaving
The darkness crept into her soul.
Why had he been so deceiving?
Her eyes looked to heaven with
a tragic roll.
She did not want to live without
him!
So, slowly she went into the
bathroom and wept!
As she stood before the open
medicine cabinet, there sat a jar
of sleeping pills filled to the brim.
She filled a huge glass of water.
and swallowed one hundred of
them.
The skies looked grim as was her
imminent death to be.
But an angel came to tell her, this
was no time to leave.
She went and told her husband of
her death wish perfidy.
He grabbed her quickly and off to
an emergency room they sped.
She, already falling asleep, her
husband,beside himself in fear.
His young wife of twenty nodding
off in her new dress of red.
The husband only twenty-one~
wishing he had a beer, instead!
The wife taken into ER, having her
stomach pumped.
Far from a pleasant situation~ of
that I heard of in truth.
Her husband in the waiting room
as grim as the winter sky.
Now repenting, wishing she would
not die!
After all the retching in ER, she was
taken home and slept for days.
He had to wake her, feed her and
hydrate her, so she would not pass
away.
He did not leave her then,but did a
few years later.
Her life went on without him.
She never saw all the wonderful
gifts God had in store for her.
A profession, graduating Cum
Laude from university.
A time in the performing arts.
And best of all a new love and
a star-blessed child.
So don't be righteous about who
is down, and why you think you
are so much better!
Be a listener,do what you can, to
make those who are down feel
better.
