    Lingering

    I feel death lingering like a cloud over my head
    Every step I take I feel his presence behind me
    keeping the pace
    I have my shield and my guard up knocking him down
    and fighting him off everyday
    But it seems no matter what I do he gets back up again
    laughing and pointing in my face
    I'm constantly praying asking please Lord not today
    Thank you for blessing me with another day but......
    Lord please don't take my best friend away
    I feel God and Death are having a war
    God says you guys aren't done yet you can still give more
    The pain is so much to bare
    Watching your best friend suffer from day in to day out
    And you seem to be the only one that's there
    So death is in the lead now because he's feeding off of your
    hopelessness and despare
    It's hard to understand I know and believe me I'm scared
    Death doesn't care that I need my husband and my children
    want and need him there
    Death wants what he wants and it's far from fair
    When we got married we thought the rest of our lives wouldn't be
    until our senior years
    Everyday we feel deaths tauntings and it puts you in a state of fear
    One day I was sitting there and he whispered his real name in my ear
    I picked up the phone and he said Suprise cancer is here!

    Shouldn't this be sadness?

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
