My Precious Husband, Skip. Fell asleep after medication for pain ... he was in a lot of pain.
I woke up this morning ... I'm ready to take Life on again. The sun is shining, what a beautiful day! Gloria Faye Brown Bates/aka Granny Gee.
I get out of my car
Unlock the gate, enter
Open the door, enter
Take deep breaths
Goodbye world for another day
I can't take anymore of you
Take my clothes off as I head
To the shower, turn the hot water on
Get under the warm spray
Let my mind go ... imagine
Wonderful, good things to come
My life has been Hell once again
I've almost lost my husband
For the second time in two months
I can't take anymore
I feel afraid ... I've cried all this day
My whole world is being threatened
Life has taken my family, including
My only one and only child
I have no one left excepting my husband
Our two precious dogs
They are my whole world
If you take my husband away, Life
The Pups and I will be all alone
I have been so afraid these past days
Death, you stay away now
Leave my whole world alone
They are all I have between this big, old world
And being completely alone
Only three, my husband and Pups
Between the world and I
When most people have many more
Life took from me all my loved ones
I don't even ask why
You ask me why don't I
Because I am realistic ...
I know I'll never get an answer
I won't even waste my time
I put on my nightgown, brush my hair
Brush my teeth ... go to the bedroom
Turn my covers back, fluff my pillows
I lay me down to sleep
The night away ... wake up
To face another day
Life ... sun shining ... what a beautiful day!

I feel for you, Gloria. So much constant stress and the anticipation of loss that is unbearable! I pray Skip will recover and that life can be better for you again. You've been through so much already. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteAs they say love conquers all and I am sure the two of you will be together for many more years. I am keeping you both in my prayers.
