B
I will always remember
The rhythm of your
Feet scaling the steps as you came to dinner.
I will always remember
The 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 remember
Your leg muscles contracting I
n the hospital bed as I imagined you were dreaming of practicing soccer again.
I will always remember
Your deep breaths you took
And held to steady yourself to take the perfect picture.
I will always remember
Your last shaky breath you took before going to
Climb the stairs to heaven,
Play soccer with the angels,
And take the most breath-taking pictures
In heaven.
