Another Saturday evening worn down, it\u2019s time to rest,<\/span><\/p>\n

So exhausted at seventy four it\u2019s hard to do my best,<\/span><\/p>\n

I see a teardrop falling down as she feels pain for me,<\/span><\/p>\n

My heart is grateful for the care she doesn\u2019t know I see,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do I sin if I rest Lord when one last timber must be nailed?<\/span><\/p>\n

I grow hidden inside as I am more rank than I ever smelled,<\/span><\/p>\n

She holds my blistered hand to her breast with tenderness,<\/span><\/p>\n

Still so beautiful I fear I\u2019ll bring her harm with my rottenness,<\/span><\/p>\n

 
\nEach morning I leave with a smile though it\u2019s hard each day,<\/span><\/p>\n

The worry in her eyes breaks my heart although I cannot say,<\/span><\/p>\n

I keep thinking just give me another week and I\u2019ll get it done,<\/span><\/p>\n

Home, it\u2019s our new place of home, I pray the battle is soon won,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sweet angel dear, in my youth you were the inspiration inside,<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear darling wife, within you the glow of heaven doth reside,<\/span><\/p>\n

Lift your tenderness to my brow to cleanse soil from my face,<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh how angelic is your touch to he in your husband\u2019s place,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When finished with our smaller home we will celebrate in joy,<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve endured for me my angel without complaint or annoy,<\/span><\/p>\n

On a new Sunday morning coming soon, take my heart again,<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon completion, hand in hand, our final journey will begin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end, for Patti. By Pat<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
