Tried Faith

You were there alone when they gave the diagnosis,
He discussed your options,and the best prognosis
You came home scratching your head
Trying to figure out how to say what was said
I looked in your eyes
An alarm was sounding,I was weak and ill
My heart was pounding
Whatever it is,we will find a way
Beating the odds is all we could say
Trips to the hospital for numerous tests
Chemo,radiation,nausea...lots of rest
Co-workers and friends,family from both sides
Offering their support..defeat we denied
When you were so weak
And while you slept,
I got down on my knees and to God I wept
Begged and pleaded,bargained and cried
Somewhere deep within me I was feeling you die
Everyone came and kept vigil thru the nite
You said "let me go...it will be alright"
Tons of "I love you"s and "please dont go"
"Please just keep living..you're scaring me so"
We all held your hand and kissed you "Good Bye"
Held on to each other,our faith deeply tried
Comfort our hearts each day as we go
Take care of him Lord, we miss him so
Treasured memories of one who passed on
Strengthen and guide us
We ask in the name of your son.  Amen
