I came to your bedside today
I stood there with no words to say
I held your hand like you did mine as a child
I remembered the talk we once had about me being wild

I sat for ages listening to you breathe ...in and slowly out
I tried not to imagine life in which you wouldn't be about
I fought back the tears
I told you not hold in your fears

Nanna you told me you are ready to go now
Nanna you said this was your final bow
Nanna I don't want you to suffer anymore
But Nanna I just can't let go.

Fly

It's been you and me for many a year It's time for your wings to unfold, I fear. I nursed you and feed you and taught you to walk Was there when you giggled and started to talk.

Be Peaceful, Now

An old movie on the tv, A book in your hand and a cup of tea. A normal scene, I do admit, But on closer glance, it did not fit. Your skin was pale, and head tilted to the side.

You took my hand. You showed me how. You promised me you'd be around. Uh huh. That's right. I took your words. And I believed. In everything. You said to me. Yeah huh. That's right.

When

Under the moonlit starry night sky. She shivers and shakes with a tear in her eye. The bridge that she stood on, many times through the years. She's one step away from, but that step she can't bear.
