Day by day
We helped you to hold onto life
Knowing every day is a struggle
Each day its own strife
Less than five years
From one hundred years old
Seen from that perspective
Gives an alternate hold
I never imagined
I’d be watching you die
Don’t know I can hold back the tears
But I’ll try
That morning we got the news
But your journeys not over
As you enter the gates to Heaven
Above us your spirit will hover
We’re saddened in grief
But joyous in remembering
For the life you lived
We’re forever embracing
Our Christmas gift to you
Was to let you go
To where there is no pain
Where only love may flow
We’ll live on
Missing you
With love and respect
We’ll remember you too
A long life
1926 to 2021
A hero in our eyes
In our hearts still you run

A sensitive write AP, with balancing expressions of grieving. Thinking of you. 🙂
Thank you Orchi. Appreciate the read and comment. 👍
Someone passed away aged 100. But difficult. He made his spouse care for him for years and years. Would not have outside help. Thankfully she was a robust spouse, and gave him 'what-for' in a school ma'am way!
ok 🤔
