Gone

Skin like parchment
Frail and thin
Smile like a wolf
Ghostly and haunted
Eyes like a skeleton
Sunken and glaring

Now she has gone
Floated away on the wind
Her mind and body betrayed her
And told her
"This is the end"

She welcomed her passing with open arms
She knew it would hurt them
God was calling
Her tale had ended
Her life was over

Reunited with husband and son
Father and mother
Friends and family
But alive in our hearts
