Dear husband, kiss me lovingly...
this is my last farewell to you.
Hold close those photos...you and me...
to reminisce the love we knew.
My children, dear, farewell I say...
within my heart, you'll always be.
Safeguard my paintings as a way
to keep the heart and soul of me.
Grandchildren, dear, goodbye, you five...
for this deep hurt, there is no balm.
My poetry please keep alive,
so babes of yours know great-grand mom.

Theme: "Imagine that a bus has pulled up outside your house, men in suits knock on your door, and after a brief conversation, you have to leave. Now. No packing your bags, there isn't time. All you have time for is to leave three pieces of advice to the loved ones you're leaving behind since you're never coming back."
