Grateful, without a fight,
just a gentle sigh
and an answered prayer,
she stepped forward
and took the hand offered.
Go gentle, dear mother.
After your rage, after your fierce tears,
- go gentle, into that greater light.

My mother died today after 2 years of being pummelled by dementia. Her prayer for release was at last answered.
