Parting Gift
by Chloe SandersI held your hand, hoping and waiting
Wanting to feel your fingers closing
It happened a few times when you were actually awake
At the time it helped for my hearts sake
The final nights of no sleep
Memories my mind will forever keep
I got a kiss before your mental good bye
The only capability you had
The only comprehensible thought you could grasp
Was to pucker your lips
For my one last kiss
Hooked up, unable to breath, move
You daddy, reached through murkiness of death
You found a way
To give me a kiss
For me, this was your parting gift.
