~KEVIN~

The wind is blowing
so hard
nobody can get anywhere
the snow sticks
and ice covers the city

His body is shutting down
and my heart aches
The cancer attacks
and there is nothing we can do
nothing any of us can do
only ache
and grieve
While his body is shutting down

I FEEL SO HELPLESS AND WONDER WHY
One of the nicest guys I know GONE.
I was blessed to be related to him
as well as my grandfather

I prayed last night
harder than I have in a long time
Its amazing how the words just flowed
from my mind
from my desperate heart

For strength for my family
For my uncle to know who God truly is
to enter into His love
and grasp His presence

But what I don't understand
is why He would take such a sweet and caring man
from the world
We need more like him
That can ask how you are doing
from a hospital bed

He was strong in his weakness
and I think he knew
it was time.

"The world is full of suffering~
it is also full of overcoming it."
-Helen Keller

ignoring the pain

a family hoping
and praying for one more breath
too hard to say good bye
too hard to see the sick
and you choke on the tears
then comes the sob
longing for comfort
from anyone anywhere
praying in times of desperation
down to our last hope
he is getting
sicker
and sicker
and the pain throbs
an awful feeling
we just need to know
what to expect
and how to cope
i try to ignore the illness
and i have been succeeding lately
but i need to see him
and let him know i care.
