You called my spouse from me my Lord and God,
But I still live in an apartment house,
Where none would take a note nor find it odd
If I were all too quiet in a drowse.
Computers, this you know Lord, they help not
With none that will to messages reply,
If someone lies upon a bed or cot,
And none to overhear for help a cry.
Don’t call me Lord I pray when I am home,
Where my poor mortal coil for months would rot,
I keep a treasure ‘neath a glassy dome,
An oak wood urn, please keep it safe dear Lord!
But if you wish to call me, then I plead,
Please let it happen on a subway seat,
Or better still, a very busy street,
So that some passer-by may notice it.
AMEN

| If you believe, then you are never really alone. Such a sad poem. The lonliness you feel really comes through. Be not afraid. |

trust me , we may at times feel that we are alone and cry out strongly and you feel you don't have a helping hand , but if you trust in God, i promise alone you will never have to stand.

Oh My dear Friend ED
This was so tragic indeed! You are so faithful and so true, don't you have someone in your church to look out after you? Someone to keep close track of you, and when you don't show up in your church they don't they call and check to see you are all right.
What a shame that you have to worry this way. Give me phone number ED, I'll call you and take good care of you.
Warm love

Lovely prayer, could not help from getting a lump in my throat. Computers may not be everything, but they are a great tool, when you need to converse with someone to keep you company. This site I would have never found without one. I like the way you expressed your prayer, in having the Lord come to you in site of everyone, and not necessarily to you when alone in your apart.house. This poem is sensitive, and I know there are so many people lonely. I gather that you lost your sweet husband, looking at the two pictures, one of the Lord, and the man, your husband, and then yourself. Yes, touching, thank you, hugs:>
