Left Behind

Left behind in a cloud of dust Her starts pounding and feels like it might bust She holds his hand to guide her way For the cancer weakened her more on the last day Wandering towards their rooms to kiss their heads She gently watches them sleep in their beds Her heart soars as the memories start floating in Reminding her of the love that must have been Left behind in a world so chaotic and cruel She taught them to be no ones fool Loving all she comes to see Teaching them prayers of the God Almighty Left behind a legacy of the fighter she became Knowing that life without her wont be the same The last days are drawing to a close As they touch each other forehead and nose I love you are said And she is placed back in her bed Drawing the last breath and leaving her body behind She was their hero, truly a rare find
