Death No Longer Waits in the Hall

Today , May 27th at 6am Arizona time

my sister finally died.

She has been hospitalized

since before Hallow E'en.

Death came in God's time.

 

She was born with so many gifts,

and squandered them all.

She is my younger sister

and we are sitting death watch.

The hospital staff keep her painfree,

a ventilator assists her breathing.

Hope is past.

No more codes,

no more life snatched from death.

DNR,

three little letters, her choice;

and a wise one.

Only one third of her heart survives,

her liver and kidneys have shut down.

Death will come for her in God's time.

 

Death will give her peace

that has eluded her for many years.

ever since her husband molested her sons,

his stepsons.

She always blamed herself.

Her voice speaks in "Ultimate Betrayal".

 

May Death bring her heart's ease,

and peace for all eternity.

Author's Note

Unfortunately, factual. I will update. Pray for her sons, please.
