War widow
A is for Angel who acted as messenger

That last breath

November 16, 2025
Written by Jo Hansen

That last breath, forever taken

That beloved voice , forever stilled

How my heart, still quietly aching 

Thinks of your life – complete, fulfilled.

Not for you, the road not taken

Not for you the wine unspilled.

Brave adventures, memory making 

Celebrates life, complete, fulfilled.
