Goodbye Audie
She sighed as she died
and I watched her fade away,
into the blackening
state of decay.
She spoke out,
“I’m not ready to go,
not today.”
But we knew that was the
last thing she would say.
The door then was closed
as I was ushered to go,
but I took one last look
at the woman I know.
Tomorrow I’ll say,
the woman I knew,
for by then she will have
already passed though.
Her frail body laid there,
with wrinkles all about.
Her ears still could hear,
they’re the last thing to go out.
So I whispered goodbye,
and I left her right there.
My last words to her,
I leave thick in the air.
and I watched her fade away,
into the blackening
state of decay.
She spoke out,
“I’m not ready to go,
not today.”
But we knew that was the
last thing she would say.
The door then was closed
