Today, I received a newsletter from our hospice company, indicating it has been 9 months since my husband passed and that they understand how difficult it has been.  Inside the newsletter was a lovely poem called....

Peace in My Soul

It was such an awesome day

And I stopped to stare at the sky.

My heart skipped a beat as I heard you speak.

When you asked the angel, "Why?"

"I wrote 'I love you' in the sky

As big and plain as can be

How can she stand down there and look up here

And still not be able to see?"

The clouds were broken and thin,

And swirled randomly through the air

I searched and strained at all that remained

Of the swirls of white still there.

The angel's voice was soft and low

As I smiled and raised a brow,

And I heard her say in the sweetest way

"She's starting to see it now."

There's a bittersweet peace in my soul

And a sense of awesome pride

Knowing you're up there writing

Words in the air,

And our love never died.
