Unable to comfort those concerned for his life he knew it was his time
He can hear is daughter and wife weeping as they say their goodbyes
His grandchildren, unaware of what is about to happen give him a kiss on the cheek
He feels his son take his hand as he whispers his goodbye in his ear
If only he could assure them that he will be alright
He takes one final breath the sounds of the room slowly fading away
Soon to be taken over by the bright white light.
Such a poignant moment. I don't know if you watch the show This is Us but your poem reminds me so much of last night's episode when my favorite character left this world.
