'Satin Pillow' Poem by Linda Winchell

Placed a satin pillow beneath his head
While lying in a metal white lined satin bed.
Face of peace as his family said, 'goodbye'
While he held a large rose given, of deepest red.

Does he know that he has passed over?
To the other side, of his now a different life?
Will he be able to remember me?
When I meet him, will he remember that I was once his wife?

A wife that loved him more than life itself!
Who shared her dreams and love with him.
Who raised two sons and a daughter
Little Johnny, Mary, and Jim.

Will our eyes meet as they did once here on earth?
So very long ago?
I guess I'm going to have to wait and see
For all of this I now want to know.
