This Fragile Heart of Mine

by J. Allen Wilson — Read all 1,629 poems by J. Allen Wilson

After being with Jan for the last two days in the hospital, my heart sinks faster than a setting sun. She is being prepped for pancreatic/ gallbladder surgery as I type this lament. I ask nothing of myself, but prayers for a complete and un complicated recovery for her, for you see; she filled a void so dark and deep after the passing of my late wife Leah and has brought the rays of pure light into my once darkened world. I LOVE HER SO MUCH�funny thing is, it seems that the women of God that He has allowed to GRACE my life have more faith and courage than I. Thank you all and may God Bless.

This Fragile Heart of Mine

Like a porcelain figurine which sits precariously on a teetering shelf, so is this heart of mine.

Broken once by love, and thus since mended it now under the weight of pure love once again feels as if it will come undo done on mended seams.

Self imposed it may truly be, but tender heart I am for all living things.

I love so deeply, I love with all my being in all heart, life and soul.

If I could I most surely would take of myself and put it in Jan’s place.

I would bear the weight of the world for her and would if I could take away her pain.

Cut me would say I; cut upon my flesh and pare he as this would in love be my gain.

God I ask, Why plant this tender heart such as mine who has in life bore much shame?

Grant me now the same peace of mind and true faith that my love, my life (Jan) carries at this time.

I love so much, and her smile and love for me makes each and every day.

Bless her Dear Lord, lift her on high; guide the surgeons’ hands and make her whole in every way…PLEASE DEAR GOD…PLEASE

I LOVE YOU BABY and I forever will.

Love always, (your little monkey) Allen

Hopefully, as Ed has already stated, the operation will not be very intrusive and a success, so that you can both get back to your happy life together soon.

Surgery saved my life last December, so I know the feeling.

Al, you know I will have her and u in my prayers and daily meditations, but you should know that gall bladder removal is nothing now a days...mine was taken out with emergency surgery and since I have been there...regards the pancreas I don't actually know, but so many surgeries that were not performed twenty years ago are now done everyday and done without incident...get some rest, Al, you look in your picture from the previous posting with a sheet over you, that you need it...Ed
