His Greatest Loss
This day brought unexpected sadness and sorrow,
This day took away his longing to ever see another tomorrow.
As he held his tired old head and fought back the bitter tears,
This day had come, the culmination of all his fears.
As he held her still and lifeless hand and gently stroked the face he dearly loved,
He looked towards heaven with tear filled eyes and spoke out to the Lord up above.
He said dear Lord it’s been awhile and you know my very worth,
He said Sir I know You placed us together on this here earth.
He said I feel like a lost puppy and so hollow down deep inside,
He said I love her more today than the day she first became my loving bride.
Lord like everyone else we had days that were good and some were rough and some were bad,
But this day I’ve lost the best friend I ever had.
She knew me better than I knew myself, she knew my thoughts before I could speak,
She knew my heart, she knew my strengths, and points in life where I was weak.
It won’t be long and I know we’ll be together again and forever more,
The day I walk that valley and cross over to those Celestial shores.
I need to apologize to those who have commented on this poem thinking it was a true story,
it is fictitious but to those that commented I know your heart is one filled with beauty
and love. God Bless all Ron
