Wish You Were Here

They say -
 she's in a better place,
I know it's true 
 with all God's grace,
 those last few years
 were ..., well, you know 
 full of tears
how you suffered so, 
 never once complaining,
 the stroke, the memory loss, 
 unable to see, the darkness gaining
 the immobility, the endless pain, 
forgetting me;
God was kind, compassionate, 
 loving to set you free
 calling you home despite my tears
 but for myself, 
I fear
 I miss you every moment, 
   wish you were here.
