the light is no longer bright in those eyes that God made
Their health takes a dive and you don't know what's next
your mind and heart are in a mess leaving you so vexed
You never pictured this scene in your mind all this time
they always were alive and their health was always fine
The stroke left them changed in your mind and heart
to help them you don't have a single clue where to start
The thought of losing them brings tears and searing pain
how many nights and days will I cry out their name?
Looking into her eyes I try to be brave and show strength
to save her the pain and hurt I would go to any length
I fall to my knees, asking for God to give her more time
allowing those beautiful eyes to once more brightly shine
But in my heart I am being selfish and bow in shame
I should know better so I just accept it and wince in pain
It is never easy to see your mate lose the battle of life
and there will be alot of tears shed and times of strife
But deep within you lies the thought you must be strong
even though the loss of her seems so very wrong
