They say you look asleep when you’re dead,
But you didn’t as you lay in the coffin bed,
Cancer had riddled your entire insides,
I saw you there & I mournfully cried.
I wanted to walk over & touch your hand,
Seeing you dead was too much for me to stand,
Your skin was very grey & washed out,
You dies in suffering I have no doubt.
Your face haunts me right to this day,
Why did you have to go in that way,
3 weeks it took for your body to shut down,
When I think it makes me wear a frown.
You fell into a very troubled sleep,
Uncle Dave for you my heart does weep,
You should have gone being at piece,
Left our world with such great ease.
I wish there was something we could have done,
To have made you last few days some fun,
But your lungs collapsed & you choked to death,
It was a struggle for you to take your last breath.

Aw...pixie, I'm so sorry to hear that.
I'm sure an image of a dead body will linger on and one day it will fade away. |
