Stillness
Eternal lights flicker
In a distant sky.
Where have you gone;
Why did you die?
Husbands are, for many wives, their source of comfort, love, joy, and companionship. Many wives consider their husband to be their confidant and best friend. To lose the man they have relied on for so long can be utterly devastating. For those who have not experienced the loss of a husband, it is impossible to understand the depth of the pain a wife feels. It is a pain so deep, the human mind only comes to accept the harsh reality gradually. Widows and her supportive friends and family can honor their loved one by recounting a kind gesture or amusing stories involving him.
Eternal lights flicker

Why did you die?

I woke up this morning
And reached over for you.
You weren't there, I remembered.
Now what will I do?
Each day I wake since you're gone, drinking coffee, feeling empty and alone. No one to talk to about what we used to share. Trying hard each day not to live in despair. Trying to stay busy,...

And I can't quite believe
That I'm living without you
And you were taken from me,

Do I have to go through life knowing you're not there?

Time heals all wounds they say,
but I have one that never goes away.
The loss of you has left a spot
deep in my heart that time forgot.
Why has He taken you from me?
Torn from my side, where you should be.

To stand stronger than we had begun.

She got up this morning,
sun shining through the blind.
She took a look in the mirror,
and something crossed her mind.
This wonderful morning I woke up realizing you're two hours away, sick, and unable to play. I said my prayers and begged God to keep you safe and to heal all your strife and illness away. A...
