For Nana Kathy

For Nana Kathy I wrote this the night nana kathy passed away..I couldn't sleep and it was the first poem I've ever written.. God needed one more to fill the empty space. He looked around and saw your sweet face. When you stopped breathing, we knew you were gone. You went so peacefully, We knew you chose the right home. We knew your skies weren't so blue, And the roads were getting to tough for you. But you fought that fight, and did the best that you could do. The best part was, you didn't die alone. You had friends and loved ones Standing there by your side They were crying and praying Wanting to keep you here But God had a different plan He said your time had come He took away your fear He took away your pain You were no longer in vain You fought the fight and won You went up into the sky You watched as we cried and said our goodbyes As much as we wanted you here We know you are in a better place You get to walk on streets of gold You get to see his face No more sickness, no more tears That you have had through out the years Now you see joy and happiness Instead of sorrow and sadness You watch down with the father above Spreading your wings And sending your love You are now watching us As an angel in heaven You want to tell us not to worry That you are now healthy and full of glory And we will meet again someday But for now we just need to pray And wait for that one joyous say Take it one step at a time Until we too, reach that finish line. -Rachel B.
