One Day
i stopped by today,
stayed long enough to pray.
i peeked in on you,
i knew..
you were aware ,
i was standing there
my mind was at ease
you resting in peace
heard you moan
took your hand, whispered
"sweetheart your not alone"
i looked up towards the sky,
tears flooding my eyes
to GOD i did pray
to take your intense pain away
i wanted to embrace you so tight
again i whispered"don't give up the fight"
i may never understand why or how
a heart stops beating
on that day yours did...it...sto..pped
bea.......ting

| Seizure (216.47.215.144) -- Sunday, July 6 2003, 04:54 pm Is there relevance to the fact only 3 words were capatalized? "One, Day, GOD" And why was GOD in all caps? Just trying to see why you put emphasis on these 3 words before I make a real comment. |
| Terrie (65.148.214.54) -- Sunday, July 6 2003, 10:12 pm Ben, very true....i really appreciate your commentS.. Seizure, ONE DAY is the title of my poem..."to me" this was a real life issue, this happened to me that "one day" and "GOD" was my only connection to my husband on that day, i was able to pray with all my being..thru the tears.. you see i saw him lying there after suffering a heart attack at a very young age..and as unfocused as i may have been at the time i do recall the sadness in his lifeless body..with all these gadgets running thru his body..so therefore...what i am trying to emphesis may only be relevant to me..we all have the same experience in life but are touched in different ways which i'm sure you know.....most of my poems are short & based on the first man that touched my life "my husband" well sweetie i hope this helps. i appreciate your comments....Terrie |
