Wife I Wept Because Of You Poem by James McLain

Dear Wife,

The passing three years was nothing compared to the wait
of eternity's single second now stilled.
Enter sands wisdom for they will be blown from the mouth a
protector for whom coverings unsealed flows sound mind.
Wife of the world pleasures you would taste have tasted
must still continue so lest a child plain common hold back..?
Exposed winds chill her soul cross those lips with memories
dreamt young unequipped doll of your mind false world all have
now seen can only be kind to your dream.
Dreams of children soft pillows hold tears blankets warmth
of hearts beating past the nights sorrows to mornings date
with butterfly noon fasting the breeze to evening dew.
The life of a second stretched back unto now it is again now still.
