A few lines from "Dad Is Coming For Mom":
"He is coming for her
We all know it...we all feel it
Just as the sun can be felt through a windowpane
Dad's presence comes here time and time again
Day by day he comes
And he lingers by her side
He waits for death to claim her
When heartbeat and breath subside
He sees her fight the battle
We know she just can't win
And tells her to be brave and strong
She'll soon be with him again
He gently takes her hand in his
The softest of touches he makes
Dad's spirit gently caresses her skin
When he touches his sweetheart's face
On occasion she can feel him now
How wonderful it seems!
A moment's rest through this battle stage
Like a sweet and beautiful dream
And for one brief moment she forgets her pain
And feels much like a young, new bride ..."
near the end of the poem:
"And when that final, sacred moment came
Mom slipped just beyond our grasp
And Dad embraced her with open arms
Welcoming her home at last..."
