I remember that Christmas,
so haunted with pain.
The last words you said,
“Come kiss me again.’
I remember I asked,
‘would you like me to stay?’
and you smiled,
‘I am fine,
watch our son
his school play.’
The next time I saw you,
later that night.
You didn’t see me,
and nothing was right.
So many tubes,
so much awful sound.
I cried out to God,
for His Mercy,
I found.
Witnessed your battle,
of unending pain.
Day after day,
then all over again.
I had promised to Love you,
Honor , Obey.
One final request,
not to end it, this way.
‘Let him go, let him be.’
I lay down by your side,
whispered assurance,
my heart could not hide.
‘It’s alright to go Home now,
we will be fine.
Take hold of His Hand,
and He will hold mine.
Thank you for all things.
Thank you for Love.
Spend Christmas with Jesus.
In Glory, above.’
I know you are walking,
on streets made of Gold.
Singing with Angels,
Saints young and old.
Free from this world,
with it’s heartache,
and pain.
and I know that one day,
I will see you again.

This is beautiful, Elizabeth, very well done. Thank you for sharing it with us!
How very touching...I can ALMOST feel your pain. But no, I can't. I have lost several loved ones around Christmas, but NEVER a spouse, and until one does, the feeling can only be a KIND of sympathy. May God be with you and hold your hand at this very difficult time of year....Sorry I haven't been able to get to so many of your articles, but life is so busy that I haven't had much time at the computer, at least not blocks of time, just scattered. I think of you a lot though, and breathe a prayer for you...God's blessings!...Helen
I have been wanting to write this poem for a very long time. It was in 2003, but I have only just found the courage to put pen to paper. My husband led me to Jesus, the Greatest Love of my life, and I am ever grateful for having known such a brave and gentle soul, and my Savior.....who is always in control. It's all about the journey, and we will all get to spend Christmas with Jesus one day. God Bless.
