Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

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
