Notes About The Poem

My condolences to Robert (Bob) and his entire family, May his wife rest in peace .

Sympathy For a New Friend

While lying in my bed - late last night 
I felt this vibe - something's not right 
I turned and I twisted - I just couldn't rest 
There was something inside me - a pain in my chest
 
So I got out of my bed - and I went to my sink 
I thought it be best - to get me a drink 
Then I sat in my chair - and to myself I had said
 "I know what it is - it's something I read"
 
Before I cashed in - I read one last poem 
From someone named Robert - I don't really know em 
But I was reading his comment - sad news of his wife 
She's now up in heaven - after a very long life
 
When I read they were married - for sixty six years 
I just couldn't help - but shed me some tears 
So I've written this poem - that I pulled from my heart
For Robert to smile - and for he to take part
 
So I'm sending my prayers - and I'm sending some love 
May she rest in peace -  way up high, in heaven....above 
(Blessings)

 
Dedicated to Mr. Robert Hinshaw

This my good friend -is truly a magnificent creation born of the heart soul and mind of a caring person. One that writes such exceptional verses to hopefully share some of the deep pain such a grief stricken loss of a beloved wife brings to a weeping soul! A fav, a true and glowing message of caring thus sent..
