I sat and stared Feeling competely out of control I sat and hoped For the news to be good He came through the door The one I had watched for so long And the look his face beared Left no hope at all As he said the words That I had dreaded so long I felt my soul leave my body As if I was not even there at all He told me his thoughts were correct That there was nothing more we could do He said he was sorry But it's best if this is the ned I couldn't hear anymore I felt the tars beginning to rush I ran out the door And straight to him He looked at me with such hope His brown eyes bright How could he seem so calm When his pain was so strong I touched his head He moved closer to me I told him not to worry He would find a better place And as he slowly drifted from me And I said my final good-bye He closed his Big Brown eyes And died in my arms |

This really made me cry. I went through this with my grandmother and it hits home hard. My prayers for you and your lost one. |

Wow... such a powerful poem. It brought tears to my eyes. My prayers are with you. "The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper." Eden Phillpotts *Cassandra Roseen* |
