How do you do this? Your poems have perfect rhythm and rhyme. ~ Sara
if your beloved cannot be there with you... rest assured, an angel will be there :) Very deep poem, very much on many peoples minds - especially in these challenging days, thank you for writing what many dare not think, let alone speak....
u made me speechless...the words, the feelings, the flow, and the writing style are perfect...i wish i can write something like this....
I liked the restrained emotion that was beautifully expressed, because here the poet is talking about going (death) and a death-bed scene. In spite of it, there is a halo of light around this one!

You should listen to the Country singer George Jones 'He Stopped Loving Her Today.' You may find the answer in that song!
This was a painful piece for me to read...because it reflects a situation that I know too well... Skillfully written Wolfey! Hugs, Dee
… We since a birth come nearer to this hour … but seldom we recollect about it … thanks …
This poem, once again, well expressed. It touches on a subject many face when they are sick or at the end of their lifetime. This, another 10. Thank you...keep writing.
I often wonder this myself. I am sure all that are important will be so. Written elegantly and leaves one pondering Who'll Be There?
