A Part Of Me
By Marcie Joy Brown
(In Memory of my beloved Prisy Joy)
I bade her farewell
Not long ago
As she looked into my eyes
Still trusting, still believing
Those last few weeks were hard
Watching the slow deterioration
Of the one whos love
Was unlike any Id known
She was my child, my mother
My best friend
And now she lay
On a cold silver table
She fought even till the end
It was not yet her time
Or so she thought
Her heartbeat still lingering
Go to Jesus, my love
I said as I held her
Mustering the strength
To say my final goodbye
Little did I know
When she finally did consent
That the one that I was losing
Was me.
