Ok here is the prompt
If you died leaving your life partner, your true love, your soul mate, behind. And God gave you sixty seconds to say good-by... What would you say to them, to give them peace, before you went into the light?
You can write this in any style you like. But be warned if you rhyme it better be good and sensitive to the topic
It must be at least twenty lines the longer the better
Don't forget God gave you sixty seconds to say good-by
Poems of thirty lines or better will be favored by me.
Other than that the regular rules apply
So look down at yourself on your death bed and your grieving soul mate and write me the most profound poem of your life

Thank you all for entering my second contest here at AP. I'm sorry it took me so long to judge, but I have been recovering from an operation. Keep an eye out for my next contest. Just like the last one was, all of my future contest's will be thought provoking LOL Bill

I was going to make the point that cutiepie made but about 30 lines lol, but I guess your poem isn't just what you'd say, you have to describe the action of saying it etc so it's going to be longer. Anyway, I thought this was a great idea for a contest and I love that picture too so good luck! x

Ahhh- if its possible, please add one more day before you close this contest!! I won't be able to submit anything tonight, but I have all these thoughts and feelings in my head- please if you can- add one more day!

Grrrr I can't shorten mine at all. Every sentiment I've written just seems so vital to get across, but in reality, I wouldn't be able to say all that in 60 seconds.
Gahhh. -
