razing up from flight two light
guiding me down a hard inclined
path

rocks weeds climbed downward
towards a sweet sounding
waterfall inside a mountain stream

beauty from night time light
shimmered down the mountain stream
two light motioned for me to wait

I stopped listening sounds of birds
singing morning just beginning
Two light motioned us to go own
down ward towards the morning sun

two light stood at the bottom
waiting for me to reach the road

I suddenly looked up no
longer was two light there

now I understood two light
was the guide through the woods

Silence measuring pain
from the loss of my daughter at such
a young age

destruction started the year before
six month into her illness
finding life becoming undone

Doctors telling her not much time
left tears being shed
scarcity
of living
not know what she could do

changes furiously made
no doubt left on what she
had to accomplish

love increased inside her soul
wanting her last wishs to be completed
before she left this world

All were completed just in time
from finding her husband
to be with her in the final hour

Little Richard was brought to her side
she knew he was there and one part of
her was able to be at rest

Last day of her life in the hospital room
leaving a short time

I went to make final preparations for her
to be at rest
When I got back still breathing for a few
moments
I said I love you she knew my voice
just one last breath given by her
Angie was going home.

— The End —
