Final Companion

She was his last

constant companion

day in

day out

watching, touching,

seeing,

loving

She stayed until he

left,

seceded

from the planet

as agonizing as

that was,

making sure he

had what he needed,

words, company,

comfort,

someone to hold

his hand,

the last bits of

his life,

precious time,

painful time.

thank you, Kerry

he does too.
