Letting Go
How hard it is for us to let go
Of the person who has grown so old
How she came to live with us
To share with us her final years
And be at peace and calm her fears
To hold her hand and let her know that is okay
If she is tired and doesn't want to stay
But go and to see her family and friends
Who had already left her for a far better place
We must be strong and let her go
Knowing her life was oh so good and long
She will be missed that we do know
But we made her happy so she could go
to see the loved ones in that far better place
Where she will always be happy and safe
