In My Arms
As you laid there
I could see it in your stare
It was his turn to take you
And our time to share
So I did what was in my power
To keep you just one hour
So others could devour
A bit more time with you
You died there in my arms
I kissed your face so warm
Reassured you of no harm
And watched as you took your last shallow breath
Missed you certainly are
Remembered you will be forever
When we look at the stars
We know you are watching over
Tanner Lee Salmon
