She told him

.

.

“I want nothing 

I am ninety-one

Please let me go” 

.

.

He looked at her solemnly 

.

.

“Don’t make me do this, 

No” 

.

.

She took his hand and said 

.

.

“I lost the greatest love of my life ten years ago

And I have loved every day that I have been alive, 

.

.

But I miss him so much, 

I’m ready to be back by his side” 

.

.

With tears falling from his face 

He held on because it’s all he knew how to do 

.

.

And  she left this earth so peacefully 

With a node and a whisper 

“Sweet dreams,  baby

.

.

-adieu” 

.
