I remember this time last year
I barely noticed the flowers
Except for those by her bed
I barely remembered eating
Except when someone brought us food
I barely realised others
Except those who came to visit
I barely went home
Except to shower and change
I barely lost my temper
Except when they decided
To treat her as if she had already gone
She will go, yes she will
On her own time, at her own pace
As what she had agreed to
Until that time
She is mindful and aware
of everyone and everything
Her wishes, she made clear, we carried out
Her wants, she made obvious, we fulfilled
Her fears, she expressed, we understood
Her needs, we knew, we anticipated
The considerate planner as always
To be home where the heart is
To be ready for the Almighty
To be prepared for the last journey
At a time convenient
Goodbye my sweet
I miss you
