1 hundred and 7 teen

a story by suite20seven designs

A

Sometimes i wonder

what you thought

it broke my heart

Sitting with you

as you ate your

last dinner

Your legs shake

my lips tremble

i know whats in

store for you a long walk down

the green mile

i hold you tight

knowing it was

THE LAST TIME i would TOUCH YOU

I sit hundreds

of miles away

The thought of leaving you

brings me to tears

On this crowded AEroplane

i think back

to the time you

were happy

and able bodied

The smiles in which

beamed from

your face

when we would

go swimming

Even in your later years

swimming would bring

you the most joy

i and the

people who loved you most

knew when you

could no longer

DO THIS

your time was short

6 houses

1 broken family

1 hundred and

7 teen years

you were there

through it all

it brings me much

sadness

your face will no

longer be in

my life

i have always

seen myself in you

you passed on

through my body

and now i know

you will always be

apart of me

I DEDICATE THIS

POEM TO YOU

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
