i dreamt this day of you
death entering inside those lungs
a heart stopping its beating
as you lay sleeping
where they found you there
and i'm wondering
if i could have stopped this
your ceasing to live
nicotine habit
consumed your lungs
hard to breathe
on this road of earth
a family
incapable
to move without
you
i questioned
why you had to leave
a son broken
inside
not able to control
emotions
tears flew down
all our faces
wet the cheeks of
mourning
does one not feel
there are days
as to where
i blame myself
could i have stopped this
nightmare of reckoning?
a granddaughter
trying to awake you
from your slumber
as her dad
watched while
tears fell down
and i remember
the funeral
as they have said
he found his faith
in our Lord Jesus Christ
never was he
strong in faith
until months before
his awaited departure
for there is a reason
to all that happens
here's to you
we'll meet again
Author notes
about my uncle, who is now in heaven.
we all miss you.
[i coped by talking to God about it, i couldn't write about this until now. i don't know anymore. it was heartbreaking and it was all i could feel. and only God helped me through it, He was the only one who could.]

This was brilliant, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Uncle, but wonderful that you know he's in heaven, a way better place. Did he die from smoking cigarettes? You mentioned nicotine..
This was beautifully written..and I'm glad you could write about it now.
Thank-you for entering,
best of luck in the contest!
