Rising and falling
my nightgowned darling
these afternoons are in slow motion
crooked fingers and paper thin skin
I love the life you lived
My baby bird taking sips of water
pressing into the earth
I picked the last daisy of the summer
standing tall in the ditch
There is beauty in the end
my hand in yours
the beauty in this hospital bed
the beauty in these old carpet floors
Symptoms of crickets
rattling midnight hearts
we grew from your
sleeping dew drops
Pedal steels
the floor feels like you
I lay the flowers down
I will wear you like a crown
I want to make you proud
There is beauty in the end
my hand in yours
the beauty in this hospital bed
the beauty in these old carpet floors
