Outlines of Time

He was a kind man, hurt by life She, a caring widow Together, sweet love so tender Two souls, outlined by hope. Yet outlines of time have strange plans His limp hand she now clings As he lies silent near death's door She hears the angels sing. Written on 3/28/2015

Thank you, Andrra. I appreciate your kind words. I agree with you. Time is fleeting, transient and sometimes mysterious as well.

I wish this were just a story, but it is a true event we are currently experiencing with our closest friend. He is only 59 yr. old. We know he'll join The Lord in paradise soon. We feel for his sweet wife. Thanks for your comments.
