End Of The World

End Of The World The sun arose in flaming red, And washed across the sky. I thought the world would surely end, If e're you said "goodbye". The birds are trilling, singing. The light spears through the trees. I'd oft' supposed my life would close, If you should ever leave. The mantle clock is ticking on. It chimes upon the hour. I'd thought that time would come to end, You held me in such power. My heart is beating in my breast. The pain I feel like fire. You said you'd love me 'til I died. Oh! You were such a liar! The traffic passes on the street. I hear the radio. I'd thought the world would surely end, My God! It is not so!

Author's Notes:

Last Monday, May 3, 2004, I came in from teaching school all day to find my husband lying in the floor dead of a heart attack. I am amazed every day that our world is the only one that has shattered. Everything else is business as usual. God, how I miss my Jim!
