Theo's Song.

I held him fondly all that night

I whispered to him"Hold me tight"

The wind raced madly around the house

Shaking in fury...wanting inside.

The dogs howled briefly by the back door.

But I didn't know what the fuss was for.

As we both slipped deeper into a dream

I felt safe and warm and serene.

In the morning he hugged me tight

Said he loved mewith all his might.

I was satisfied with what he said

As he lay there calmly in our bed.

Then"Open the window, open wide."

I muttered "It's still blowing a gale outside!"

"I'm going fishing!" he declared.

But one hour later he was dead.

"Good fishing my love" I said in my head.

"Good fishing."
