Than the Days Will Ever Know

Playing on the grammar school lot,

In a uniform, I’d rather not.

One of “The Boys” in high school…

Yeah, pretty tough and sometimes cruel.

Then one day, love chose me

Through a girl, a last dance;

I knew…

My wife she’d be.

We worked, we loved, and grew up together;

Raising three children through all life’s weather.

Traveled the country ‘cause of my job,

Left family and home, late at night we’d silently sob.

One child left the nest to wed; now there are two

So many changes, life hurls us through.

With love, we rejoice, yet we’re doomed to suffer equal loss,

So enjoy the day and those you love, at any and all costs.

For there’s one thing in life, I’m certain,

As sure as the wind’s gonna blow,

Make each and every day count because…

The years teach more than the days will ever know.

I wanted to be familiar with the stages she would go through and how I could best be there for her.One of the things I read about the dying is that often they see deceased relatives or friends right before the end. In the world I grew up in (as a Seventh Day Adventist), I was taught that such things simply couldn’t happen. Yet, I read and heard story after story of men, women and
