Slipping away
Beautifully
Quickly
Her legs no longer able to carry her
Finding strength in the arms of her sons
A soul that never fell when her body could not stand
Even when there is no will to eat
She hungers for us to stay
Too see our faces and know our stories
Slipping away
Beautifully
Quickly
When we think she is not with us
Her humor reminds us she is still here
Every bit of here is here now
She does not want to be left alone
To feel left out of the lives we share
But she is the reason we are all here
She is why we live and why we love
Slipping away
Beautifully
Quickly
The drawl of her voice is strong yet sweet
Reminding me it will all be alright
Her lingering gaze tells me what she wants to say
What words cannot express as beautifully as we can
I will sit with you and bring you comfort
As you have done every day before
You will live with in us
Never leaving our hearts, but protecting our souls
Slipping away
Beautifully
Quickly
