Wife's obituary 3 years ago.
Her death was a drawn out one,
Her mind long gone before her body
Finally gave out too.
The faithful man visited his wife every day.
She was still his girl even though she
Could no longer recognize him.
He chuckled at her little quirks, but only
Spoke of her in the most tender terms.
Her family and friends rejoice that
The gracious woman is with Jesus, now,
That she's all brand new.
And the one who loved her most
Doesn't need to write her obituary.
It's been ready for 3 years.
But I know, from having been there,
That it just isn't possible to prepare for
Grief.
