So she Stayed...

 I wrote this in part after reading a mighty good man's words celebrating his wive's devotion to care for him as he mightily endures a long, chronic, debilitating illness.  His hearfelt, deep and abiding love for her was/is palpable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She Stayed..

By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney©14

 

 

She stayed...

She could've walked away like so many others

But she stayed.

 

She saw, was drawn to this man

In all his humanity

And decided to stay.

 

What can one say to this?

That may it be?

If that time would come...

Let it be

That I would walk the River Jordan

To do what needs to be done.

May I imitate the exemplarary

The extraordinary

Of the one that stayed...

And stayed...

And stayed...

And stayed some more.

And in that process

Paid whatever price was necessary

for that man in all his humanity.

Who could have that kind ofheart?

Or the patience...

Or the resiliences

Or that kind of love?

 

a fierce, mighty, mighty love

Amazing superlative love

These can be the ones

Or are the ones...

Who are the sum of it all...

As it should be

could be

Or ought to be...

Tht most of us fall mighty might short of...

while we roam vainly in the world

Of me,myself & I...

Her staying, may all the others who stayed be more and more...

Until that number is infinite

Until there is no more need

Like the one who stayed.
