And  Soon Time Stood Still

I remember as though it were yesterday,
That smile you shared so willingly.
 Then it faded as you became ill,
We knew,  soon time will stand still.

I remember well as you shared,
Your fears of what was to come.
We cried together at what was  to be,
We would always know, you and me.

Time too quickly passed by,
Here you are alone today,
Not knowing where this place is,
or understanding the reasons why.

Almost as though it’s some dark corner,
of the unknown with a lost fill.
Something from the fearing past,
As I watch you and soon time stood still.

That glimmer in your eyes,
As you watch me when I speak to you,
It hurts me deep in my heart as I feel ill,
For the pain I feel, as time stood still.

Robbed of my love and fond memories,
Stolen are my family & my life.
Saddness and fears have struck me,
Stolen my rights as friend, mother & wife.

God has taken my husband home,
Now I am left here all alone,
I don’t understand why I am ill,
Or why so soon time stood still.
