Final Hours

Your grace,
So beautiful to see,
Moving through your final hours
Preparing for what will be

Your face,
Alight with love, a glow,
Teaches us about living ~
Each day, a gift, as you well know

We won’t hold you back
But you are too lovely to leave
Before the world has had enough of you,
Leaving us behind to grieve

Letting go is hard
Although you’re ready to move on
To a better place
Where your love will shine brighter
And exist in a state of grace
