my head nods forward

my senses return

my loving partner exactly where he was

by my side

the one who vowed to love me

till death do us part

his comforting hold when I fall apart in pain.

I feel blessed to be so loved by another

knowing he’ll be there by my side

when I close my eyes on this world

and gently release from his embrace

into God’s loving hands.

I love you, so, Frank

husband, friend, lover of mine

when I gently release from your embrace

you’ll be there in my heart forever.
