Aunt Hazel
As you lay waiting for God to take your hand
my Father is by your bed in prayer as he had planned
You are the first of his siblings to see pass
as he ask God to lead you to the promise land
You seem to be sleeping peaceful until your eyes open with a twinkle
looking up at your brother you smile with eyes like crystals
In a soft whisper you speak seeming like all time has stopped
without a single tear that doesn't drop
"I love you my brother do not feel greed in wanting me to stay
for this is the end of my long life's play"
The curtain has closed
the lights have dimmed
with one short breath she is heaven sent
forever more with no end.
*For my sweet aunt forever in out hearts who has passed*
