Peace Be With You
Peace be with you
are the words she said
Flowers placed appropriately
Saying goodbye to the dead.
She wasn't false
And yet, it wasn't true
Because there were things
She just couldn't undo.
A while she stayed
And many things she did pray
But in her head is where the words would remain
For if she dared speak them aloud,
she knew her heart would break.
When the sky took upon an orange glow
She knew that it was time to go.
To leave them there was harder
Much harder, than she’d imagined.
But her mother had told her many times before,
“Rest easy my child. Today it hurts,
but tomorrow, it’s a new day.
It won’t bare the pain of yesterday
anymore.”
With that in mind
She made to leave,
Hoping that the souls left behind,
Would find peace.
And forgive her, for the words she wished to keep.
