At Night She Passed Away

Bed ridden now she lays somber in my sight. I say it is alright, mother everything is right, Opening eyes in discomforting pain, this night, Remembering her goals, her immortal fight, I know deeply she was passionately contrite. My mother will be missed, before daylight. Her pain, agony dispelled, by Heavens might.

Dear Cecil, to me is has always seemed to be a blessing when the suffering comes to an end. Surely, you miss your mother as I miss mine and the many others I have loved who have passed through this world into the next. But remember, they are in eternal grace now. It helps me cope and I hope it will help you cope as well. If this is for Dr. Ram's contest, I wish you well! Love, Carolyn
