Just before they go

* * * * *

It is a time like no other.
About to lose someone you love 
who will soon pass from this mortal world.
It's a dusk and it makes you hold your breath...
You keep replaying the tape of times you shared
and those wonderful memories
cause your eyes to swell with tears.

He can no longer take visitors, as he is too weak.
Tho he is still breathing, he is not hungry and
he doesn't have the strength to speak.

I pray you are not suffering, my Friend...

Peace be with you.
