I worked as a nurse at clients homes, sometimes I was there at these parting moments, I often wondered how I would handle it. Here is my fiction, for now.


Poem Artwork

Last time to say Goodbye

please do not look sad

shed a tear

cry.

We knew it would come

just never knew which one

just dismissed it

as if it will never be.

Oh yes

so many if's and but's

and I have plenty of

what if' only's,

they will always be around

yes I agree

so will lonely.

Just say La La La

to it all

feel no regrets

remember the good times

we were the best of friends.

I love you so much

I fight to keep this smile

so lets make it

our last

farewell

goodbye.

the deep feelings that are expressed in this piece of poetry put me into its author's shoes reminding some similar moments from my past. a very touchable piece due to its restraint. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, alex

Poignant passing. It's never easy and hopefully best happens in sleep.

"'s" is possessive, not plural, and one of my pet peeves. Using 's instead of the simple plural, s, is rampant in common writing these days and even preferred by Microsoft spellchecker.
