LXX: GOD BLESS U

It was just like yesterday

When we gathered to celebrate u

To celebrate u at 50

Family

Friends

Wellwishers

Cheers

Jeers

Tears of joy

Gifts

Words

Acts

All in apreciation of u

It wasn't funny in the weeks that followed

Cause u left

U left to be with ur doc

2 nights turned into 3

3 into 5

5 nites into a week

It had never been that long

It was a new experience

The meals weren't the same

The smiles weren't the same

He missed u

They missed u

We missed u

I missed u

Then u returned

But it didn't feel like u

U were forcing the smiles

Ur cheeks were gone

It wasn't the old fleshy u

I could see ur bones

I was worried

But I couldn't tell my worries

Everyone was worried

But we needed to be strong for u

We needed me to be ur smile

Oh how I remember

That fateful day u asked me to pray for u

I stood shivering with fear

As I pleaded with the one who knew it all

Technology failed

The pills failed

The therapy failed

He led you thru d valley of shadow of death

Then his eyes shone on u

And because he lives u live today

And today u live to feel my words

I love u to my roots

I'll love u till my last

I love u mum
