We all sobbed

Monday,7th January 2019

 

I took her words

and looked towards

the sky was silent

only stars were present

 

She was holding the hand

her eyes tried to send

few words with strain

she was in real pain

 

"what if I am parted"!

cry not when I am departed

she was telling endlessly

I remained motionless and sadly

 

You are going nowhere

we are all here

to your bedside

for all possible aid

 

She wasn't reassured

and feared

these were her last moments

she waved the hand and final gesture was sent

 

We all saw her going away

and watched her motionless stay

she was there unmoved

we all sobbed
