Amma's Poem
The end of days that lives within
Found its way out after all
The thing that grows under your skin
Knocks you to your knees and makes you crawl
We would all rather it us, not you
Anything to keep you here
No one could walk a mile in your shoes
Losing you is what we fear
Staying with you until the end
Never letting go
Prayers to god we do send
Love for you can only grow
One day the time has come
We will always remember
Sister, Daughter, Amma, Wife, Friend, and Mom
We will love you forever.

This was a sudden poem I made for my Amma (Icelandic for Grandma), when
I found she was dying of cancer. The time spent on it was short, and the words
were minimal, but the emotion was definitely there. I, nor my family can read it
without reaching tears.
