Poem
When When did a bed become your prison I see your strength absorbed Absorbed by the mattress I turn you Trying to prevent sores Who would have thought soft sheets White sheets Could cut like glass I hold on to you The younger you Remembering your smile your vitality I had thought you to be The most beautiful woman in the world It is said that boys fall in love with their mothers What I miss most Yes most of all is laughter Playful exchanges Those times no one else existed The moments when we were the best of us Before life became real Responsibilities Chasing of dreams Growing up I thank you for my humor My irreverence My questioning My creativity These were not accidents They sprouted from the ground you nurtured The listening The time you spent The cheering I heard as I lived my journey I knew I could always come home Now you are home My home Let me read to you my stories We still have smiles to share You who I love Who cared for me I will not abandon you to a strangers care Endings matter I will usher you to your beginning This bed can't hold one as strong as you One day soon You will skip into paradise You will pick daisies You will place them in your long flowing hair When the time is right I will join you When I have accomplished all that I need to do I will miss you I will cry for myself Not for you Because I know You live beyond this room I will once again Know You are the most beautiful Woman in the world! Dedicated to my Friend Armand.
