They made so many memories, <br />some of them untold, yet almost all enjoyed. <br />Their last mements together were <br />not so lovely, some of them devastatingly sad. <br />Still she thanks God for all of them... <br />even their last one that broke her heart. <br />She thanks Him because now he is free of pain. <br />Although she pleaded to let her story book <br />Love not die and for him to be healthy again, <br />fasting and praying until the bitter end. <br />She lost her long time husband to the grave. <br />One day when the pain of loss is not so fresh, <br />when her account of their hopes and dreams <br />are no longer of this earth because she too is gone. <br />When one day she is by Jerrys side flying high again. <br />Their Love will still go down in history and it will go on. <br />It has and will with stand the test of time as a <br />Splendid most beautiful Love story... <br />their Love is to be admired and remembered, <br />for it was and still is a Love to be learned from, <br />a Love to be duplicated in its entirety, <br />for theirs was tested and still through health and <br />in sickness it still stands on its own...as True. <br /> <br /> <br />(July 22nd 2007/Written for Fran williams in memory of my wonderful cousen Jerry Williams who passed away on July 21st of this year...)<br /><br />Shelley L Baxter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-story-of-love-4/
