GRIEF Poem: You, by Tina Webster

You saw me take my first step into life, I held your hand as you took your last step of strength. You held my hand when I was small, You taught me the value of perseverance, In right from wrong, That’s why I’m so determined, I saw you stare adversity in the face, Without fear, A compassionate heart stopped beating, Tireless hands finally at rest, Twenty eight years of selfless love, Taken in less than 7 days, You taught me to be fearless, And protected me when it
was needed, I’ll never be the same person I was, Because of you, I am a stronger version of myself, Even though you are gone, I’ll forever hold you in my heart, The unconditional love you showed me, Will forever be etched on my soul.
