Rest In Peace Mother Rector

As I sit here with that cigarette lit,

I watch from the shadows what next occurs,

This is one of many times I feel like I've been hit,

Yet I sit there inhaling and try to endure,

I watch them pick you up,

A sadness falls over me,

The water is overflowing from the cup,

Tears fall down and hit my shirt so aimlessly,

Now they have placed you in a bag,

One of your size and I stand back,

Loving you still even after they place on your toe a tag,

Knowing in my heart that there is no love that is to lack,

So while you are taken to the funeral home,

I am finishing that cigarette I had lit prior,

My heart begins to feels like it's on fire even though still made of stone,

Then the hammer swings back and smashes it into a pyre

 Let's light up the world with the rage inside,

Can't you tell I want to harm them all,

I lost the last love that was unconditional along with my pride,

Someone help me as I am on the ledge and ready to fall,

You are loved my dear one,

I shall never forget you or your soul,

Even though in this lifetime you are done,

I shall love you forever and never let anyone close again to take an emotional toll.

I'm sorry for your lost. Few people are kind to us in life. They cannot be replaced. We must keep them alive by following their example and returning the kindness to other people. The description took me with you to the sad moment. A very good poem. Last line is the hard way. We need open doors to keep us feeling alive in the emotion of love.

I am so sorry for your loss
Death is another piece of the puzzle of life we must all live with
And it leaves an ache in our heart that never goes away
Just remember her love and kindness
Though she is gone she will always be
In your heart, she is with God’ instills
A powerful and heart touching
Wishing you Peace Love and Light…Yolie
