Forty-Four Weeks of Enternity

Forty-four weeks ago you died

Relief from suffering you finally had

Forty-four weeks ago I cried

My Darling, I still can’t say, “Good bye”

Your husband is in glory they tell me

Or so they try

I want to believe their story

After our ups and downs, I’d like to meet you in glory.

For forty-four years ours was a love story

Life’s adventure, our great venture

Dosed daily with grind and grand

Life with you never bland

We hugged and kissed our way through it

Despite all your pain sweet kindness you gave

Lost in loneliness, I’m not brave

My purpose, why God left me behind

I don’t understand the design

You’re in glory and not pain, I’m glad

Learning to love and trust in the divine

I won’t be so sad

I love you, miss you and still wanna kiss you!
