(*) THE LAST EMBRACE *
You walked as fast as you could
Bringing with you some food to partake
Life is difficult, you have to make do
With the provisions the nuns have provided
For you and your husband to keep afloat each day
Keeping him company
Dependent, relying upon him
Feeling alone, lonely and neglected
Never the love and affection you expected
For many years your hidden heart embedded
He comfortably provided you
With a home you call your own
Tried working night and day
His illness had to wait, he must save
For rainy days, the future has to stay
In the dimly lit room he slept in peace
Never waking to see the dawn
Holding his hands, so frail and cold
You were alone — again, lonely and neglected
You breathe as deeply as you can
You have the last embrace …
thank you for dropping by and leaving your heart print. I will always treasure it...God bless you
A tribute to Elsa, our caretaker in the convent where i stayed

So many ways to write (*) THE LAST EMBRACE *
So many ways to respond to (*) THE LAST EMBRACE *
sacrifice for others at such noble cost is always inspiring to those who care, to those who appreciate sacrifices made for them. As God has told us, it is better to give than to receive.
Another way to write (*) THE LAST EMBRACE * for a music lover like Meggie Gultiano is 'Lamp Lit Darkness In shadow Night'
Beauty given never dies, 'to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die'.
