Sara Kendrick Poet I do not know?

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

Kevin Semeniuk December 17, 2010 at 10:26 AM 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.

Andrea Dietrich December 16, 2010 at 5:08 PM 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

Daver Austin December 16, 2010 at 3:49 PM 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.

Carolyn Devonshire December 16, 2010 at 2:02 PM 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

Sara Kendrick December 16, 2010 at 9:32 AM 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
