Lying still on those unfamiliar sheets.
Body hollow but you are now at peace.
Turning back for a last glimpse of your face.
Our lives lie still as you remain our only thought.
And we relish in the fleeting feeling of a smile being caught.
To have you grace our lives.
Your spark may be out, but you will live on forever.
Will glitter our conversations and dance about our heads.
As we will live our lives to make you proud, for when we meet again."
I wrote this in loving memory of my Nanny, Mary Josephine Orsborn.
and how painful it was seeing her pass away.
She was a beautiful woman in every way.
