gone yet not gone,
fighting still,
never giving in
even when you
nearly give up.

that warrior’s spirit,
that irish pride,
take you to
the end of the line.
this is the end.

do you have two hours,
two days, two weeks,
or two seconds?
not knowing is
harder than the end.

they love you.
you leave behind
the impact you made
in the lives of
your family.

it’s okay to let go.
don’t panic,
for peace is waiting,
and if you live on in thoughts,
you will never be gone.
