I spend each day with you
going where your spirit leads me
to the heights of joy
and the depth of sorrow

Things I feel are truth now
you are freed of the horrors
that captured your mind
free to see only the beauty in creation

I share with you my daily life
things you could not do
you inspire me to take the high road
I honor you with my every breath

Your gentle spirit in the throes of pain
the love you radiated to all
never forgetting names
down to the cleaning lady in the hospital

Handing out candy kisses you couldn't eat
telling everyone who helped you in any way
"I love you."
everyone returning your love

You brought a special light into the world
with your suffering and death
it will not be forgotten
thank you my angel
