To Love More and More

. Death silently crept In the night he came One had to gently Close the eyelids down Would you be distraught Would your heart weep If this were your plight To close eyes in sleep Eternal sleep now Would your heart break within Would you remember The love that we shared Or would you sing joy Thank God she's gone Being tired of daily Having to serve the lady Serve her by working Bringing home the bacon Or would you want To go on toward home Joining the loveone That shared your long life I would not want to be The one who had to close Those brown eyes in death I would want to cheat death Iwould want you to met him In the air with no care Not knowing who will go First to the eternal shore Help me Holy Spirit To love more and more

This isn't a side of you that I have seen a lot of. It's a very deep and beautiful poem with a different vibe or approach it seems. either way its a great poem as your work always is! nice one.

Good to know you have such a strong love, SAra. I dont' think I am like that. If you are well matched from the beginning, this is how it should be. Good poem! LUv, Andrea

This is so human. So many can relate to your questions and thoughts. I'm terrible about checking my mail, Sara. Sorry about your back. In regard to a child coming home to an empty house. This - depending on the child - might be one of the worst traumas of a young life. The feeling of being abandoned.

Sara, there's no way I could close the eyes of a deceased loved one. It's just not in me -- I don't handle goodbyes well either. Mom had made me promise to kiss her before they closed the lid on her coffin and I'll never forget how cold her lifeless skin felt. A very touching poem. Love, Carolyn

This needs some more work..I am not sure which way to go with it. This just came to me this morning because our daughter is having to care for her dying Mother-In-Law..She is really broken-up about it ..Her heart is surely sore..Sara
