Passed away at Georgetown Hospital on March 19, 2012. Private arrangements.

Au Revoir

Warm moisture feel I, on my face
Lips tremble, tears abound,
My arms around you in embrace.
In sadness, I cradle you.

Misted thoughts do crowd the space,
In my endless swirling mind
Of better times, or better place
But of this you're not aware.

I grieve for your reality,
Yet celebrate the freedom of your soul.
As silently away you slip,
From the realm of my reality, into
The memory pastures of my mind.
