Left alone at last my love, you holding my hand so tight. The doctor gave his final report, that I was losing this mortal fight. I feel my life slipping away; and see that truth in your eyes. You watch me with such tenderness counting my breathless sighs. The last few months has made me glad, to leave this cancerous place. the last thing I want to see in this life is your sweet and smiling face. With a moan I take my last breath my eyes tell you it is so and closing forever in this life I watch you let me go. |

With years creeping on what is left but to be there and allowing him to go when the time is up. You have given a feeling of dignity with this. |

This spoke to me in a very personal way...having been that person holding the hand of a loved one as they left this world. Thank you for this. |

The ending looked like a plug. Did somebody pull it? Very good poem. |

An unselfish plea which a Loved one wouldn't heed. |

Can any of us really ask for more than to be held in loving arms as we leave? Sad and beautiful and very well written, PDV. |
