Last Hours

Not realizing end
Sleeping peacefully
Numbed from onset pain
Her will stands so strong
Slowly passing time

Restless moving
Heart weakening
Holding her style
Waiting the hour

Mom I say
It’s O K
Go to sleep

I’m here
O K

Calm

Letting go is hard, Cecil, but sometimes our loved ones need to hear us say it's OK for them to enter eternal rest. Congratulations on your win in Gareth's contest. Love, Carolyn
