I wish I could write of something humorous,
Something funny, something crazy,
But I find my thoughts are with Leah & Al,
Thoughts of pain to mention too numerous…
Leah will sometime in the near future be leaving this existence plain,
All too soon she will be meeting her God where he does reign,
Not that it makes anyone feel any better,
But no longer will she suffer from earthly pain…
I, as do we all, wish and pray for this to change,
Yes her departure will of Al’s life derange,
My only thought at this time is that he does survive,
I know he will, but without his love, his life will be hard to revive…

I don't know the people of which you write so maybe shouldn't be commenting but feel the need to somehow. Your poem is a tribute to their love for one another and your friendship. It's very well written and leaves the reader with a feeling of hope. Regardless of what we believe or how devout we are none of us really know what awaits us when we take our last breath. I believe it will be what you believe it to be. To know that your friend will be out of pain is, I'm sure a comfort, but then the love she lives behind will begin another long battle of learning to live without her. From my heart I wish peace for you all.
Many of our thoughts are now with them, Bro, and we'll keep praying for them.
Newfie Hugs are with you, Rose

Al and Leah in my prayers, as well: don't understand how God can take someone as loving as Leah. He has His reasons, though: why do any of us die? Not supposed to question, but we do - especially when two people love as deeply as they do. A sad, heartbreaking write - I, too, pray for strength for Al when the time does come.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(
Leah and Al will be in my prayers.
