in the small room we stare outward
unsure where..
as you lie on your back
holding on to life
we hold on to you
with words and prayers
i run my fingers through your hair
fearful of never seeing you again
fearful of never seeing you again
so serene and noble
a true ambassador of peoples
now with tubes in and out of your body
you are always wisdom and beauty
we do not sleep for fear of tomorrow
for fear of the next minute
we cannot accept losing you
a man who raised us and taught us so much
of life and strength and dignity
our love too strong for seperation to come...
When it did, time stopped for days and tears..
warm memories caused crippling pain
then I realized
your death was actually the start of your life
the everlasting life
and you deserve nothing less than eternal happiness
an end to pain and tubes attaching you to this world
i realized you were ready to leave
But I still love you so incredibly deeply
death does not end all you mean
i am grateful for every lecture you gave me and story you shared
every joke you told with the broadest of smiles
every moment we had together
Thank you
I will not cry but will be strong for you
I will always have you in my heart and prayers
I love you Awoowe
