Dearest Mam

My spirit was stunned,
when you slipped into darkness
yet I knew you were beckoned
towards the light,
reunited with loved ones.

I’m glad Death’s clock waited
for me to say goodbye.

For years grief gnawed
deep inside my core;
this is the monster’s ultimate bite.
Death has rescued you from
the depths of Alzheimer’s abyss.

My head spins with memories:
our last walk, the hugs we shared
my final whispers by your bed.

I love you Mam
and miss you.

It's by grace we are allowed the time it takes to gently let go. It's never easy.
