Bridge - Here For You

when your heart is weak
not beating well.
Your tired and weariness overcomes
I will hold your hand,
whispering softly in your ears
I am here for you.

Time has come 
your eyes saying goodbye
your heart no longer beats
I will hold your hand
saying farewell not goodbye
I was here for you.

I hold you close
in a last embrace
my heart is broken.
Time to let you go...I
kiss your lips and turn away.
Knowing,
I was here for you.

Holding someone's hand when they pass is one of the greatest gifts you you can give to a dying person, regardless if they are your loved one or a stranger. This is a beautiful poem Seren. Congratulations on having it as number two on the Best New Poems List! : )
