    At The End

     

    Eyes twinkling brightly

    Arms holding on tightly

    Pictures shared together

    Memories lasting forever

    Laughter ringing merrily

    Silence audible barely

    Days ending quickly

    You growing sickly

    Love always strong

    Something going wrong

    Side by side

    Arms stretched wide

    Weaker by the day

    Don’t go away

    Tears slowing down

    New hospital gown

    Comprehension sinking in

    Where to begin

    Breathing fading fast

    Treasuring the past

    Eternally best friends

    Life finally ends.

    Thought bringing gloom Dark, dying room Better one's own Farewell at home Priceless last kiss Starts forever miss And so life goes, just slipping away. Love stays behind. Wow, you nailed this one. Harv

    Thank you!! I was inspired by watching my great grandmother leave us last year. It was hard but she was ready and had a very full life.

    Thank you!!!! It reminded me of several people when I wrote it. I lost my brother when he was 17 and my great grandmother last year. I think it can apply to the love of any family member or loved one though depending on the reader.

    I was not there when my best friend from college passed, but I spoke to him near the end. He could not speak back for he had throat cancer. Though 2000 miles away the nurse called me to tell me of his passing-- friends for enterity. Love, peace and freedom, Olan.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
