Marriage
She’s gone now
my wife of 38 years
gone to GOD
through cancer
not through her will
not through my will
but
THY will be done
And I treasure
the time of our
relationship
and love
and I search inside
for new meanings
and new
understanding
For now they come in words
I am not lonely
but
alone
and
there is
a difference
Together
we were strong
and I am still strong
as HE still has me
here
and I am not done
yet with HIS mission
and my framework
of life and fate
but—
I am diminished
as it is only
HE and I now
and not
We.
I lifted her up to HIM
on her passing
voicing the understanding
that HE knows such pain and sorrow
and disappointment
from the world
with the horrors of
what people do to each other
and
I knew and trusted
that his receiving
the lovely soul and spirit
of my wonderful wife
HE would see and feel
that what HE did for us
on the cross
was all worthwhile
and perhaps
that was the reason
HE called and needed her
I will move forward
with my life and mission
and
will remain
with my hand in HIS
on this side
and HE holding
her hand
on Heaven’s side
As HE is the bridge
the carrier
the joiner
the pipeline
of love
between
all of us
one to another
throughout
all eternity
