Twenty-One Months
Twenty-one Months
By Franklin Price

Twenty-one months have passed me by
Since God took my loving wife
For more than half a century
We honored vows for life
With all His love and wisdom
God took her, with Him, up above
Now she's looking down upon me
And still sending me her love
I feel her in my presence
I still feel her warmth at night
Underneath the covers
After turning out the light
I am slowly moving on
But still living all alone
I visit friends and family
Through internet and telephone
We come and go in person
I'm so grateful for their grace
The best of times are had with them
When I look upon their face
I long to have my Barbara back
But I know that's not to be
In time, may be another
I'll just have to wait and see
If that is not to happen
I know I had the very best
Who resides with God in heaven
Where He holds her to His chest
