I knelt beside the bed I took the hand that was so frail I held it for awhile and just sat Holding a hand that cared but was pale A smile beamed up to me Just knowing I was there To comfort in the final hours To be there and just to care Though the body was weak The eyes were so strong Full of life were the eyes This body should not belong In those eyes were years ago When youth ruled the day Care free and endless times Never thinking to take time to pray Now in the twilight of life The eyes begin to dim They close and a story closes to Never to be told again.......... |

Absolutely wonderful, and yes Welcome to Dark Passions, this is a great post, and slides in with warm hands. Thank you, if this is from your past then my heart out to you, I have lost many. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Welcome !!  This is a wonderful heartfelt piece I enjoyed it thoroughly. It sadden me too! Reminds me of a song, 'The day you went away'. If it is from your past I'm sorry I've lost people too, my advice? Embrace their memory. Welcome again I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

I agree with the other's this' a great first poem and Welcome to our home. But as the saying goes "all good things must come to an end" and it is sad but it is so. Keep on writing. |

Wonderful! This reminded me so much of when my mother was dying....I felt so sad and yet I rejoiced in the memories of all the good times we had shared over the years. Welcome. Love is like the measles.....the older you are, the harder it hits you! |
