Dedicated to my husband with love. I miss you.

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,

and whispered,
"Come, live with me."
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer

A gentle heart stopped beating,
your hard working hands put to rest.
God will love you and keep you
until we meet again someday.

These are precious memories. There was simply no one else like him in my life!
