Barbara - 10

Little is now left
of what we had
just little notes
and now expired aides

I sometimes see you
in familiar places
smiling at me
as you did in those years

I know you hid your pain
the ravages of the illness
would not stop you
until you could do no more

Your world grew small
until that final night
the light grew into the sky
and you left at sunrise

Thank you for your kindness
thank you for your generosity
inclusivity
and thank you for sharing your life

I love you to bits
and pieces
I love you forever
and you'll be with me for all time
