Could Be Our Biggest Test

I looked down at him laying so helplessly.

Fever over taking him, not letting his body free.

I said a silent prayer,

As I watched him laying there.

I closed my eyes with my head upon his chest.

This just might be out biggest test.

For if tomorrow comes and he doesn't rise,

My heart will break more deeply than I can realize.

He struggled with each breath he tired.

Soon my fears I could not hide.

Struggling to say the words he said "I love you".

I wanted to say them back for I loved him ever so true.

The sun rose high in the sky.

No tears fell from my eye.

He was going to be okay.

My heart raced as I rushed on my way.

He held me close as he looked at me.

I knew our love would always be.

Now when I think back on those days.

I'm so grateful I have my love near by me always.
