B

I will always rememberThe rhythm of yourFeet scaling the steps as you came to dinner.   I will always rememberThe rhythm of your Respirator, making sure you stayed alive long enough for me to say goodbye.   I will always remember Your legs move as you Fooled other players to get the soccer ball past them.   I will always rememberYour leg muscles contracting  In the hospital bed as I imagined you were dreaming of practicing soccer again.   I will always rememberYour deep breaths you took And held to steady yourself to take the perfect picture.   I will always rememberYour last shaky breath you took before going to Climb the stairs to heaven, Play soccer with the angels, And take the most breath-taking picturesIn heaven.
