A few lines from "He Is Coming For Her":

"He is coming for her

We all know it...we all feel it

Just as the sun can be felt through a windowpane

Dad's presence comes here time and time again

Day by day he comes

And he lingers by her side

He waits for death to claim her

When heartbeat and breath subside

He sees her fight the battle

We know she just can't win

And tells her to be brave and strong

She'll soon be with him again

He gently takes her hand in his

The softest of touches he makes

Dad's spirit gently caresses her skin

When he touches his sweetheart's face

On occasion she can feel him now

How wonderful it seems!

A moment's rest through this battle stage

Like a sweet and beautiful dream

And for one brief moment she forgets her pain

And feels much like a young, new bride

She yearns to see her husband's face again

To never leave his side

So while we wait through the days and hours

'Til the dreaded goodbye must come

Dad waits with growing excitement

He's been without her far too long

Dad understands the sorrow we feel

For we also once mourned him in grief

He stands by our side to lend us support

And hopes we'll find comfort and peace ..."

further along in the poem:

"And when that final, sacred moment came

Mom slipped just beyond our grasp

And Dad embraced her with open arms

Welcoming her home at last..."
