    Sick

     We found out you were very sick
    not knowing what exactly was wrong
    everyone going through all their emotions
    and yet trying to stay strong
    staying up mid hours of the night
    making sure that you are alright
    feels like we are all falling apart
    someone has taken a dagger through our heart
    pleas pull my hair back and brush my teeth
    I am trying but can't quite reach
    can you please help me to the sink I can hardly move
    I hope I am not asking too much of you
    weaker and weaker as the days go by
    trying once again to stay strong but I am going to break down and cry
    giving you meds so you are not in pain
    wishing some strength that you would gain
    cleaning out your home and putting your things away
    it's not easy for us to see you like this each day
    all we can do is say a big prayer
    and god will answer because he does care
    we're at your bed side and this is what you said "if by chance my life tonight might end"
    just remember I was more than a mom and a grandma I was your best friend

    This one brought tears to my eyes. WOW. It really reminds of what we are going through here w/Grandma. Her wanting so bad to be independant and not wanting to be a burden on anyone. It's so sad. I'm sorry for your loss and yes she's in a much better place.

    There are losses we all experience; but that's part of the life we all live. It's the strength we gain from it to live on, that was one of the greatest gifts to give. I am sorry for your loss; but that has come only to be a cliche, just remember they're in a better place, than this shit-hole we're in everyday.

    SHE IS IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE THAN HERE. IT JUST SUCKS WHEN YOU LOOSE PEOPLE WHO MEAN THE WORLD TO YOU. BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT HERE IN PERSON WITH YOU THEY ARE IN SPIRIT ALWAYS WATCHING OVER YA.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
