Ode to Garry
From a loving wife
Alanda Standard
I waited a long time for someone like Garry. I was impatient and always in a hurry, to find someone to complete me. He was unexpected, not really my style, but Jehovah sent him. It just took a little while.
He was just what I needed, though I never had heeded, the words that the bible had said. I just stumbled along, without a song, and my heart was filled with dread. Then Jehovah said here, take this man. He will draw you closer to me. If you follow my words that I have given to you, you'll find truth and sing joyfully. Jehovah was right. I put up a hard fight, to keep him and be a good wife. Then one day, just like he arrived, he was quickly gone from my life. Back to the source, that had sent him to me, to share a love unconditionally. It wasn't all fun, and the games were hard, but a lot of lessons were learned. And now that he's gone, I'll continue to mourn, til the day paradise is returned.
