I Bid You Adieu
Memories of you, flooding
As I take care of you now,
The curtain seems to be closing
Time caught up with you somehow.
The fire is still burning in your soul,
Your eyes so bright and full of love.
When death makes its final call,
Your soul will fly, fly like a dove.
The fire still crackles & pops,
Although your body is very frail.
Time has to not stop, stop has not,
My love for you will never fail.
Storms and lightning have assailed you,
Before your journey home, but God is with you
Guiding you as I bid you adieu.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote the following poem for a dear student I had the honor to have as my student. She asked me to write a poem for her ailing mother. Her mom is suffering from stage-four cancer. I wrote this poem pouring my heart in every word. I pray this poem brings peace and healing to her sadden heart.

A beautiful poem made me quite emotional, my gramps passed away because of cancer, so I found this very relatable. 🙏
Very good write, I am sure she appreciated your words.
