Taken
I held his hand gently
This great man beside me
He was smaller now of course
As life ebbed away
And he lay exhausted

I gazed at the closed eyes
At the strong face, now drained
Smooth unlined forehead
Damp now and shining
In the glow of moonlight


So still he lay, for so long
Then I felt the darkness come
It tiptoed into the room
Chilling the air Gently
Piercing my reverie
With the knowledge of death

I tasted the very bitternes
The sorrow of my loss
As my heart began screaming
In the silence of that moment

The hand I held , flinched
A tremble of life fluttering
Like little explosions in my palm
One teardrop traces a line on his cheek
Then a small boys voice whispered to me


"Mamma are you there ?"
" I have been good mamma"
My own tears now echoed his
I knew he was saying goodbye
" Mamma may I have candy now? "
" I have been so good "


I knew then, It was over
In another world, she held his reward
I had lost him forever, gone now,
She was reclaiming her son
And he was no longer in pain

June~
This is about as poignantly tender as anything I've read~
I tear up easily ... and this one did it in a heartbeat~
