Death Poem
2008-03-14来源:
During the two years of my husband's terminal illness, death was never far from my mind. We had been told he was dying and even a time in which it was supposed to happen. We had no idea of how it would happen. I was loathe to let him out of my sight incase he should suddenly die and not return to me and woke each day fearing that he may have died during the night. Towards the end of his illness I sensed that death was near, waiting in the shadows to steal my love from me and wrote the following poem.Death, it waits in the shadowsBut it sneaks ever closerI can sense it- almost smell itTangible- real- waitingDeath - it waits like a vultureWatching the once strong body falterBut it has no notion of willThe will to live which fights onRefusing to see death even thoughIt stares him in the faceIt does not honour courageBut I, witness to this brave struggleWill forever hold my love in aweHis courage humbles meHis uncomplaining nature humbles meHis love un-changing and ever trueHolds me upDespite his prognosis of three to nine months, Brian survived for two years. His courage never wavered and he fought a valiant battle to the end. Bed bound just three days prior to his death, he passed away at Home surrounded by his loved ones. He was 54 years old.Poem written by: Lorraine Kember - Author of "Lean on Me" Cancer through a Carer's Eyes.
