Life and Death

He cherished her for all his life His darling dear beloved wife Sent to him from Heaven above This fine woman for him to love Ruby lips and ivory skin Stirred deepest desires locked within They had three children over time Which helped complete their lives sublime They prayed to God through good and bad When they felt joy or they felt sad God gave them strength no matter how Their burdens seemed to drag them down Faith in God would never waiver He would always be their savior Her time was near to go to Him Her light of life fast growing dim He held her hand and bowed his head And kissed her as she lay in bed With a small sweet smile she did pass Into God’s open arms at last
