Waiting for healing to catch up to my wishes.

Spending long days breathing slow and shallow,

Recalling days before the painful emergency.

Today I want to gain years beyond what some expect.

This life I have been saving, is to share,

With the family we made from love.

Prayers for decades together,

Holding hands each morning with God listening.

Forever has a whole new meaning.
