Saying Good-bye
As we stood over her lying in peace,
we realize that this horrible disease has put her at rest .
Seeing her look so peaceful and better than she has been in years
makes us see the beauty she use to give to us everyday.
The salty water dripping down our faces and leaking into our mouths,
My grandpa’s shaking hands hugs us all and reminds us it will be okay.
When he is the one who needs the comfort the most because his only companion is gone,
Seeing the hurt and confusion gets me lost in my dad’s eyes
Is this really happening? How are things going to be better?
My heart is feeling colder than this cold February morning.
Remembering her before her disease comes so much clearer to me,
the way she would take me everywhere and give me everything.
Touching her cold peaceful hand one last time stays in my memory so deep.
The cold tears feel the tension of breaking out even more as we stand quietly
Watching the casket close and seeing her beautiful face one last time.
Her memory will never fade away, and only time will heal my family’s and my hearts.
