Laura Stalnaker Poet Rhyme

Tragedy

Tragedy hit our lives one day, 
I dropped to my knees and began to pray, 
Early morning on July Twenty First, 
I would say that day, was my worst. 
I walked through our door, and down the hall 
Out loud his name I began to call, 
Hey where are ? no reply, dead silence, not a sound.
I walked to the bedroom, I turned and  looked down
Finding him on his stomach, his face to the ground.
I screamed oh my God, is he dead,
But I could see that his blood, had drain to his head.
I still tried to wake him, but all signs of life, gone, 
My life was shattered from that day on. 
The love we shared, was all I knew,
From children to adults, together we grew 
He became my life, the day, I said I do, 
God, I loved him with my whole heart 
I thought we'd always be together, 
I never thought we'd be apart 
My love for him will be forever.
I have such guilt for not being there 
Your death has been to much to bare,
