In Loving Memory

The Room

The room breathes her in as we ponder,
her final hours, her final breath.
Delicate, peaceful, lovely.
Just as she was.

The room is full of her,
a little of her eyes, her laugh, her smile,
in all of us.

The room stirs with her children who know it all,
and their children who will always remember,
her tenderness, her strength, her beauty.

We live and love because of her,
triumphant grace, her splendid passion.

We stand together, and breathe her in,
as we lovingly let her go.
