Everything I am came from pieces of you.
You have guided my choices, my life, and my heart.
There has been no one more selfless than you.
Everyone crowds your bedside to watch you sleep.
I can't help but wonder what your mind keeps.
The wonders that are hidden within, buried by the confusion
Where have you gone and who is this that takes your place.
Hold my hand it's ok, don't be scared now.
Everyone is waiting and watching with tears and frustration
You lie so still only peaceful dreams written on your face
Not ready to go but too far away to stay.
Sleep dear angel, it's your time to rest.
There has been no woman greater than you
No person that has given so much of themselves
You are a blessing, a family keeper
Judgement has never been a part of your heart
Love and giving has been your purpose in life
Holding hands, kissing foreheads, loving unconditionally
You are the strength that makes this family whole
No better leader than you will ever be found
Smile dear angel, your path has been completed.
