My Dearest

I sit in stillness, deafening quiet,
There is no one here that I can see,
It feels so strange!
How can this be?
Terrible circumstances did arrange;
His death, my life did change;
Angels carried him away from me,
God, my hubby’s pain did exchange;
For life in Heaven, to be pain free!
Laid to rest with love;
My life now upside down, I must re-arrange;
I miss my dearest friend on earth, was he,
I don’t understand God! But my hope is only in thee!
