"Oh my sweet, sweet, Synthia. My pride and my joy,
It is too soon to leave my side. Can't you just stay with me more?
Without you the sunshine dims and the clouds roll in
The flowers wither and die, and I can't live my own life
You are my hope and my pain, You are the rose
Which hath been forever been planted in my brain"
Her raspy breath began to pick up again,
My heart rate quickened as I awaited her eyes to open once more.
"Oh God, I thank thee with all mine heart!
You have blessed this poor family once more! My wife who,
hath suffered dearly will be able to watch as our child grow old"
I cheered to the gracious lord of this world.
I watched as she awoke and her gaze landed on me
Joy overcame me as my wife, the love of my life
Smiled at me, with her smile so bright
Her sweet soft voice, her sweet majestic looks
All of which God graciously saved
Her loving laugh, her cheery smile
All of which I get to hold onto more
Now she lays there, meeting my gaze
Warmth began filling my cheeks
"My sweet, sweet, Synthia
My passion and my joy
Let you live on forever
Live with me and our family
All of us together for eternity"
Sweet memories of sweet, sweet, Synthia
Being made every day
Soon she recovers
And she skips through the field
Laughing and giggling on the way.
