A poem written during a rough patch

“Find Me”

Saw an article of an elderly man on his death bed

As a final request he I need to see my wife he said

"I miss her”

After 66 years

After the laugher must come the tears

When it’s all said and done

all anyone can ask for is the “one”

Hour glass finishing almost out of sand

In his final moments he his is girl by the hand

Looks her in the eyes

And with wordless goodbyes

He says, “Find Me”

And he must mean in the afterlife

Even in death you’ll be my wife

Marriage two become one

The whole is always greater when it comes

to the total sum

With that said, “find me”

Find me when I’m lost in the abyss

Find me when I don’t have the strength to persist

Find me even when we struggle to coexist

Find me when you can’t see the man you met

Find me when I’ve made your eyes wet

Find me when I haven’t found myself yet

Find me even when you feel I’m your biggest regret

Find me when it’s almost over

Find me there

And bring me back

Remind me you provide everything I lack

Remind me that

Two became one

That in the darkness of the valley you are

My sun

In the coldest hardest points you will be there peaking over the horizon

Remind me how far we’ve come

Remind me

To find we
