This is a poem I wrote about a very loving husband  who's wife was in a terrible accident. She was in a coma and not improving. He made the very hard decision to take her off life support.

Beyond the land of sadness to the desert of stricken grief... sits the ocean of unrelentless pain which I've since crossed in between. On a ship made of hopes and wishes...now bound for rocky shores. Uncertainty at the helm...with no comfort found onboard. I sat and watched as each ray of hope was swallowed by clouds of what's to be... no matter how tight I held the rope... I drifted further out to sea. After days of wait and wonder... my ship it ran aground. On an island called Lost for words... but this is what I found. One who's eyes were so full of kindness... with a spirit so full of love... radiating from deep within...it was seen from up above. She brought joy to those around her... of this I have no doubt...and with each seed of kindness planted... everyone of them would sprout. There was so much good within her... I don't even know where to begin. She touched so many lives... treating everyone like kin. This beautiful creation lays now caged in human skin... and no matter how deep my love... It's a battle I can't win. So I took the key and turned the lock... my heart already breaking... a gentle kiss...a soft goodbye... my dove was now set free. P.R.Deremer
