Saying Goodbye.

Her shattered body

lies still in bed,

mumbled words

were all that she said.

I enter the room,

not expecting the sight that I see,

For she was always the strong one

looking after me.

I hold her close

but she's more fragile than ever,

scared to break her,

Yesterday I would have thought, "never."

I say hello,

she summons the strength to smile,

what she doesn't know is that

it gives me strength to stay a little while.

Inspired by her strength,

guided by her love,

now all I see is a broken woman

she is all I ever think of.

She's been my sunshine,

there for me all these years.

I try to look back on the memories,

but it's hard to see through my tears.

Never was she supposed to go,

she said she'd stay forever

she said nothing would break our love,

nothing whatsoever.

She taught me so much,

strength, love, to care,

but I will remember her lessons forever,

this I solemnly swear.

This is not the end,

this is just the start,

It's time I begin to live my life,

with the Nona spirit, strength,

the Nona heart.
