Light

 

You were in pain

Do we all die the same?

The fear intensifies?

 

You refused

To hold my hand

Fear or was it your plan?

 

You were my Dad

And, will always be

I needed to hold the.

 

Dad, why did it hurt?

I wanted to stop your pain.

Did my best, all the same.

 

Was it your flight?

Fight of the unknown.

Dad, you were simply light.

I can relate to this, Deborah Ann; perhaps more so because my mother chose to leave this world/life early and on her own terms. Love and best wishes,

Regis
