Slowly, surely bubbles rising. Fate determined, people sighing.
Holding breath, sink below. Pressure pushing, don't let go.
Pursing lips turning blue, bubbles pass, breathe untrue.
Life itself left behind. Helpless life, so unkind.
Before your eyes, there they are, shrinking, leaving, gone. Too far.
Airless lungs, painful scream. Remember not, Earthly dream.
Please awake, Heaven’s gates. love awaits, painless state.
Distant mind all restored. Remember me when you are cured.

In loving memory of “Mom-Mom”, my grandmother, who passed today from Alzheimer's disease. She was awesome and very much loved and will be missed. I hope she’s been reunited with “Pop-Pop”, who took very good care of her.
