Look one last time to find the depth of her soul,<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t shed a tear he tells himself of his silly goal,<\/span><\/p>\n

Gaze deep into her eyes as though the first time,<\/span><\/p>\n

He sees her as perfect of profile, to him sublime,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The pedestal she has stood upon is made of him,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ninety years of endurance has left him very thin,<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet he remained though called home time ‘n’ again,<\/span><\/p>\n

Victory to her admirer was one more second to win,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Behind closed doors he sobs and regains composure,<\/span><\/p>\n

Look at the two of them, true love doesn’t know closure,<\/span><\/p>\n

He would endure anything to gain one more day for her,<\/span><\/p>\n

Her pretty smile brings him to his feet although it’s torture,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He allows no others to bring water to quench her thirst,<\/span><\/p>\n

She whispers softly that she will know the glories first,<\/span><\/p>\n

Unable to contain himself he holds her and cries aloud,<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweet husband for seventy years you’ve made me proud,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prayers of love can bring more in return than known,<\/span><\/p>\n

To the last moment extreme love for the other was shown,<\/span><\/p>\n

Her last breath is drawn but as family lifts dad it’s known,<\/span><\/p>\n

The two have flown together to find their heavenly home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end, by Pat. I love you Patti<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
