Passing memories

by doug frazier   Apr 30, 2007


As I sat by your bedside, the angels were crying.
Their tears mingled with mine, as I watched you dying.

So often you've told me, "you have to be strong"!
But what do I do, when my whole world is gone?

With your last dying breath, you whispered my name.
Now that you're gone, the memories remain.

You were brave till the end, my foundation of stone.
Here at your grave side, I feel so alone.

I know that with time, the tear stains will dry.
But I still find myself, asking God "why"?

The light of my life, was taken away.
Like the heat from the sun, on a cold winters day.

Your smile still haunts me, your loving embrace.
Reflections of yesterday, a better time and place.

I must say goodbye now, it's what you would want me to do.
But my favorite memories, will always be of you!

    I wrote this for an event that hasn't happened in my life yet. But I know it will, it is inevitable. One day my mom will pass on and on that day I will lose that person who has always been there fr me. So I've been preparing in my own little way since mom is getting older. I've written several poems for others who have lost loved ones. But this one I think all can relate to. Thanks for reading my humble words. Hugs from Doug!
