My Last Hour

My sister had a clean bill of health on her return from Egypt took a turn for the worse,in three months from a cheerleading choreogragher To a bed ridden, gaunt cancer patient she fought and fought without a murmer until her fight did succomb my mother,best friend and pillow of strength We recieved a call from the hospice a drastic change from the night before family called from miles around in my view,poor lass held on For us all to gather around her bedside as she took her final straw like breath slipped away,out of pain each leaning forward, our kisses goodbye. Diagnosed July Called to rest, October. 2008 My last hour . Rest peacefully Shirley SPONSOR .Robb A. Kopp Title . " MY LAST HOUR " Paul Beadnall 20/7/11

Brave Shirley has found release, without the awful pain, now peace, taken, loving thoughts wont cease, for she is with the Angels. respectfully. Don Johnson Australia

Thanks for your kind and gracious comments on my poem, treacherous stride....I am 60 years old, widowed....from the USA, down South in Dixie...Fort Smith, Arkansas to be exact. Historical old town, Fort over looked the Indian Territories, Judge Issac Parker hanging judge, Marshalls under him over the territories, colorful tales. Gallows still there, old Fort on the River still there, Parkers court house as well.......Thanks again my wonderful English Gent friend!
