Don't Take Him Away From Me

by Maple Tree   May 28, 2012


I have written many times about our love,
but do the shadows know about that moment,
when you saw me across the room, and you knew
my thoughts, and comforted me without saying a word?

As we sat in that tiny, dingy, doctors office,
and he read your diagnosis, unable to look
us in the eye, you handled the news with such strength,
holding my hand as I sat there crying like a weeping willow.

Each day I write about your glorious soul,
etching beauty laced with this tragic reality,
for many reasons, but my main purpose
for all these writings, is to keep you breathing.

I write to the Gods of nature James,
and I beg for their loving hands to reach down,
and anoint my poetry with a blessed gift of love,
my wish is for you to stay right here by my side.

I know they won't ignore the candle I burn for you
each night....

    Andrea,

    The way these words show on the page, I can see the emotion in them, I can feel your pain and hear your prayers...

    to know someone I love is hurting and worried about there future, fear of losing the one they love pains me, I wish I could reach out and hug you, but all I can do is tell you, I am thinking of you and pray for you and James,

    love always my dear

    Being one who has battled cancer and comes from a family of those who have lost and those who have won from this gawdawful disease, I sympathize so very deeply with you... its never easy, yet he has remained strong and supported you, as you have supported him, your love for each other is priceless... I'll be lighting a healing candle for you both when I get home this evening... I wish there were more I could do... I'll keep you both in my thoughts and wish you both strength to get you through this... always know that you are in my heart, no matter what has come and gone, you're always there... this was very hard to read, so sad and heartfelt, full of love and hope...

    hugs n love

    I dunno where to start, and I dunno how I'll type now. My eyes are full of tears of sadness and joy. Sadness cuz Im all the way here, and my inability to do a thing, all I can do is support you. Joy is because I met someone like you strong and loving. You have a wonderful soul that touched many of us so deeply. Nouras poem is right, your not alone.
    Sorry for any typo Im not wearing my glasses.
    Love you Andreay
    Hugs
