With All I Don'T Understand

As the night arrives and darkness brings thoughts, I think about all your deep suffering I want to catch a breath that wipes it all away So you can breathe again in peace, without fears As you fight for your life, day after day The illness attacks with a vengeance Always making me ask why this happens to good people? All your volunteer work, all your willing giving day to day All your service for our country as a Navy Chief The endless care for others, you showed so many ways Here is the night we talked as best we could I could hardly understand your words as you struggle to speak With memories of fluent conversations we had in the past Always patient, always listening, that was your being The darkness hides the answers, but not the faith you always have For God is with you, that I know, even with all that I don’t understand Heidi Sands 11/26/22
