My Auntie

My mind is heavy. My tears are forever flowing. I sit here hoping Trying to keep believing In the being we call God Asking my Heavenly Father Please don't take her She's not ready. . . I'm not ready. . As I bury my knees into my chest I can't help but keep myself in distress All I see is despair Wallowing in my sorrows Constantly screaming how "it's just not fair!" as I stare at her in the hospital bed. All i can seem to think is why? Why did you have to choose her? Please God Don't take my last breath of compassion Don't take my voice of reason Don't take my last chance of believing someone can genuinely care for me I can't help but focus every once of energy I had on her Thinking maybe a bit of my life Would give her the right to live on. She glances at me Just to give me the last chance I have to ever see her smile again. Her last words. . Her most important words. . O how I will cherish them forever. As she sat up to let me see her beautiful brown eyes for the last time. I immediately started to cry. She said, "why all the tears?" Those should be for my suffering For all those many years. This is a happy day. . Because today is the day All my pain will finally go away. . And don't worry. . We will meet again. . But this time, It will be at the kingdom of heaven. Before that day, My auntie's consistent struggle with cancer Had left me aching for the answers to my many questions. But that wisdom she bestowed upon me Will keep me at bay until that faithful day comes. I will never forget you auntie. You are the true believer of the power of our Almighty Father.
