Final Good Bye~

She looked like a skeleton

With loose skin on her bones

Her eyes were transparent

Her feelings were unknown

She wore a bright turban

Her hair was mostly gone

She looked much older

Than her forty two years

And seemed unaware

Of people and their despair

Lying on a bed

Blanched and drained
Pale as a white rose

Weathered and wasted

Life had taken a turn

Landing her in a storm

Alien and alienated

She forgot where she’s from…

Her family had gathered

For a final goodbye

Questions on their mind

‘Whats’ and ‘whys’

Her laughter broke the silence

When she thanked one and all

Her strength had given up

Her spirits hung on_

Note: Dedicated to every single cancer patient out there fighting for life.
