In Sickness and In Health

am not going to talk about it!!” Was the last thing that he said, He shouted it so all could hear The noise so loud it could wake the dead I told myself I would not to cry There was no need for a tear No telling how much he had to drink But I am sure it was more than one beer Oh, it isn’t always this way We love each other dearly Then I noticed that he had changed Yes, I could see it clearly Today I asked him what was wrong But he refused to say one thing I told him he should talk to me Just think of the peace it could bring But then I saw the letter I couldn’t believe the words I read The diagnosis could not be wrong It said my husband would soon be dead It was then I felt the tears come I had to go and find him No wonder he was so upset Life had just turned completely grim He needs to know I will never leave him He has to know how much I care I vowed in sickness and in health That I would always be there Connie Moore 2/10/14

Connie; This brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me of my husband. When we got married - everything was great. My husband was a very good husband, but 7 years after we got married he had a stroke and was disabled for 18 years.. I was there for him unti the end. Thanks for sharing,,,, Lucilla
