Go Home _ For Angel Jeremy Poem by Shaakiera Schroeder

A road travelled before,
Perhaps,
A road travelled once to many times before.
Where the norm of the day is
Suffering and pain…
Constantly praying for relief _
Comfort eludes us….
Everyday seems the same…
The fear gets deeper_
Darkness….looms!

This familiar road …
So familiar infact, it’s the reliving of the past.
Everyday, waiting….expecting the worse.
Cringe every time the phone rings!
We remind ourselves to be strong:
“Keep it together” we say to each other,
But we feel it…we feel it in our souls!
The pain is too much… unbearable,
You can’t take it anymore…
You…want to go home!

We’re selfish and beg you to hold on,
Fight it …don’t give in!
But this monster inside you is eating you alive,
And we cannot imagine what it must be like.

You tired…but concerned about us.
Don’t worry we will be okay….
Let go…go to where there is no pain.
Let the Angels take your hand …and
Lead you home!
