Cancer

You're shinning through the gates of heaven
The golden walls breathe out warmth,
You never feel alone,
You're naked body is out of cream,
Your eyes aren't the same,
they speak hope and glam,
Your hair is made of silk,
Released to the clear space,
Is this your life in heaven or my wish to be ?
Where your house lives on  the sea,
just what you said it will always be,
The gardens you own,
are full of your favorite  flowers,
The ones, we used to bring occasionally,
Painless freedom here it is,
it's the only thing you worship right now,
Your smile never leaves your face,
God bless you and that gorgeous smile of yours,
When your life was so damned,
I rarely saw that smile drawn on your face,
When pain never left your body 
Silence, I recall was your constant action,
I know that god would be taking good care of you,
Better than anyone down on earth,
I saw you days and nights laying on that bed,
Your body was absorbing the chemicals
Your mind was half gone,
I watched it eating up your body,
slowly but harshly taking away your soul,
You were too gentle to bare the pain,
And When you were finally gone,
I knew you were there,
floating on the seventh cloud,
Looking from above,
Praying for us,
As we do for you right now,
I love you,granny.
