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
