Where have you taken my husband

Where is my husband 
please tell me where 
he is where have you 
taken him I want to know 
everything about his 
last laugh his last breath 
is he still with us I begged 
just let me take care of 
you now there’s medical 
supplies stack bedding 
diapers oh why can’t I 
care for him you’ve 
moved him in such a 
fragile state where is he 
you tell me where he is 
let me take care of him 
it is his final hour for Christ 
sake how dare you just sit 
there wearing that smirk 
on your face he doesn’t 
have to go it alone is that 
really what you want for him 
knowing full well I’m here 
sent only by god open your 
heart allow him to get the 
care he needs sit here my 
dear he is no more you’re 
having a god awful dream 
that’s all the love of your 
life has now left this world 
rejoice with tears streaming 
down my cheeks I collapse 
oh father where have you 
taken him he replied oh my 
dear child such a great love 
here to behold my dearest 
beloved in your grief for you 
are not alone the Holy Spirit 
has taken him Home

I can feel so much anguish, pain, longing and unanswered questions, Yolanda, and yet deep down you are resigned to reality. ~ Regards // paul
