Reunited

She knew her life was through, But wasn’t scared to die; She closed her pain filmed eyes, Her final breath a sigh. Her husband took her hand, And whispered, ‘ Welcome, dear. It’s been so very long - We won’t be parted here.’ Jack Horne for Linda-Marie’s Life, Death and Beyond contest

Hello Mr Horne I would like to use Reunited at my aunt’s funeral and print it on the order of service with a credit to you. Is that ok? If so, would it also be ok to use ‘tired’ in place of ‘pain filled’ Many thanks - this poem is apr for our situation. Robert Davies
