I miss your lovely smile so much, you know that I still care,
instead reflected in my eyes, a silent vacant stare.
My tears withheld, though God knows how,I stroke your tortured hand,
false hope to think things had improved,more hard to understand.
I stayed until your eyelids closed,then bid a fond farewell,
walked to the simple chapel, where I sat, on thoughts to dwell.
Psalm 121 I read three times,the words caused tears to flow,
this heart with passion beating hard,at last began to slow.
We walked in silence to the car,a strong hand wrapped in mine,
with just my thoughts to linger,on the meaning of each line.

a touching write
I did not know Psalm 121 as not being very religious, but I found my old bible and read it. Yes, tears did flow. I have just been through similar myself and it even though this bought back painful thoughts, it was a beautiful piece. You have such a talent for writing. Oooo and you still managed to rhyme! clever you.

My grandfather passed away in 1984 and I sat in that little chapel begging, praying and reading the same verse. I could not stand the loss until I found peace with my heart and God once more.
This is beautiful and moving, so strong in faith and inspiration for all.
Sorry for your loss but you seemed to understand what I did not at the time and that is wonderful and touching.
Blessings,

A very beautiful and heartfelt write.

....I don't know Psalm 121, nor do I understand why someone should invent a word starting ps (unless he were a psychiatrist or piss artist!), but I still enjoyed your beautiful and emotively written poem.
Well done Essex Girl.

Oh, my goodness. Did I know this?
I'm sorry honey.
Bless you during this time, giving opportunity to share it with your spiritual family.
Beautiful piece. Content overrides any other fact as do most personal losses within verse.
But, it is so well written! I know loss. Thank you for sharing it.

My thoughts are with you Hilly and all the family.
I read this with tears in my eyes and Psalm 121.
Be strong.
All my love
