12 Feb 08 - 08:29 PM (#2260944) Subject: BS: Praying for Peace From: LilyFestre My grandfather died this morning...having been returned home on Saturday after 2 amputations, a bypass in his leg, congestive heart failure, swallowing muscle problems and a host of other problems. It was his choice to come home and I am so glad that we all were able to honor his wishes. Together one last time Gathered in shifts Holding hands Holding tears Anxious glances Looking for glimmers In his eyes Glassy but not gone Raspy whispers And smiles A gentle squeeze Labored breath Cries for mercy Helpless frustration We wait And pray For quiet peace For release of pain Still he floats between The night is long And void of sleep One deep breath Silence Peace Release ~Michelle 2/12/08 |

And I bet he's so proud of your beautiful words above. Lizzie x |
