The Drive

The 500 mile drive we took

For you, for one last look

Even with all the prayers, we knew

It was the time for you

Through the pain and suffering you fought

As we reminisced on the lessons you tought

We prayed for you to get stronger

Because we were selfish, and wanted you a little bit longer

Everyone had said their goodbyes,

and tried unsuccessfully not to cry

It was time for you to answer the call

and gracefully you would fall

It was the thought we couldn't bare

Because to us it wasnt' fair

Of course we all wanted you to stay 

But even still you passed away

Smiling until your last breath

It stayed while you were put to rest

In loving memory of the one and only I've met

To our dear, sweet mother Violet
