Gone with the Wind
I remember
holding great grandmother’s hand
and yearning for
her life not to end.
I remember
there used to be silence.
Then, the doctor whispered
there was no chance.
So, on a dark, cold night,
I stood in front of the coffin
hearing people cry
the eerie music began.
She’s not coming back.
But I soon discovered,
Heaven might be good –
at least she didn’t suffer
Heaven might be good.
