On April 14 2018 My mother defeated death
When death came calling
We couldn't know why
You tried to hold on
I suck at goodbye
I know that you suffered
I raged F@(k cancer
But still we laughed
And let life be our answer
We sang our songs
And said our prayer
And wished you free
Though it felt unfair
We cried as you took
Your last hard-won breath
We didn't know then
You'd defeated death
We have great memories
And your gardens still grow
Your grandkids remember
The loving faith you did show
Miracles now happen
I attribute to you
And when I laugh
I know you still do too!
Your memory's my shelter
Your teachings persist
A sign, shadow, whisper
Death doesn't exist!
I can still feel you
Because you didn't die
You still live on
And death is a lie
With death defeated
I now tell my son
Though we might miss you
His grandmother won!
