LAST KISS

You leaned over the recliner chair

Where I lightly dosed next to your bed

Pressing your face against mine, gently

Pulling on my lips I received your kiss.

Slowly opening my eyes, I see you lying

In bed, so I arise to offer you water only

To find your lips will not receive it

And your chest no longer rises to breathe

The air between us. Thank you my love

For that last kiss. Our love has no end.

Your loving wife, Norma.
