Not ready to say goodbye

He held his ground....
With inner strength he has found....

He made it through another day....
For many more we will pray....

He is sick and growing weak...
Things are looking very bleak...

Bedside vigals so he knows his family is there....
His wife touching his golden hair....

She sheds a lonely tear....
Looking down at the man she loves so dear...

She is thankful for the time with him you have given her....
Emotions making her own life a blur....

Remembering all the good times they had...
A wife needs her husband and a son needs his dad....

Life as they knew it is slipping away...
Taking it day by day...

Life does not go on forever yes we know....
No one is ever ready to let go....

An empty space....
That no one else can replace...

She takes his hand and holds it tight....
Tells him she loves him and needs him to fight...

We have been together for many many years....
I'm not ready to face my fears....

You have always been by my side...
Wiped my tears when I have cried...

Well I'm crying now ,tears running down my cheek...
You can not wipe them away because you are so weak...

Lord I need this man...
Protect him and do all that you can....

For this man my love is true....
I'm not ready to give him back to you....

I ask everyone to pray...
And give this family another day..
