Remember
Remember her smile
The one that seemed to trigger yours
Remember her words
The ones that you will forever cherish
Remember her laugh
That brought on all the good times
Remember the woman who was known as many things
Whether it be mom, granny, or friend
I know I do
But I also remember the woman
Who was confined to that bed
The woman whose young and vibrant soul
Was stuck inside a forever ageing body
I remember holding her warm hands
So carefully as they felt frail in mine
A now that I think about it
I remember feeling anger
Questioning myself,
"Isn't there more that they can do?"
God only knows
But there is one thing I do know
That right now as I speak
Her soul is lifted above us on the wings of the holy spirit
And that she is smiling down upon us all
The one that seemed to trigger yours
Remember her words
The ones that you will forever cherish
Remember her laugh
That brought on all the good times
Remember the woman who was known as many things
Whether it be mom, granny, or friend
I know I do
But I also remember the woman
Who was confined to that bed
The woman whose young and vibrant soul
Was stuck inside a forever ageing body
I remember holding her warm hands
So carefully as they felt frail in mine
A now that I think about it
I remember feeling anger
Questioning myself,
"Isn't there more that they can do?"
God only knows
But there is one thing I do know
That right now as I speak
Her soul is lifted above us on the wings of the holy spirit
And that she is smiling down upon us all
