Is Tonight The Night

The coming death of my son last year.

IS TONIGHT THE NIGHT?

 

Dread invades the dreams

Sleep is sporadic

It is written on the faces

Of his children

They try to pretend all is normal

But he shakes

He is listless

His joy is seldom seen

We wait

Each night we wonder

Is tonight the night?

The end is near

Tears are shed when no one can see

We speak of deaths coming

But try not to believe it

Until the end

We will continue to ask

Is tonight the night?

When one of my closest friends hovered at deaths door, I felt what you expressed so clearly in IS TONIGHT THE NIGHT. Especially the line about tears being shed where no one can see.
Excellently worded.

And you never, ever forget--especially on anniversaries and holidays and birthdays and...............
But God is there, and He sees your grief and knows your loss, and He loves you and He holds you through it all. Praying today for your memories to heal and peace to prevail.
