Fight Is Over, The Poem by Alison Smith
Fight Is Over, The
How many times will it take
Before we see how brittle we are
Why can we still be quick to take arms
When at home we have so much greater fights.
We have made this world a smaller place
Displaced ourselves from family
What a great hollow is made when
We loose a part of our family
I lay beside you as you waited
For the phonecall from afar
You knew that it was coming
But you still hoped it wouldn't
You lost your mum
As the day dawned
Her life was taken away
You cuddled in close and dreamed
In a darkened room a younger life
Fought galantly for a little more time
But his time had come
His soul had already departed
You always see things come in three
I hope its not this time
Two lives lost a fight today
I dont think I can see another
(* for the two who can only visit in my dreams now... rest in peace...*)

Allie - this is a touching, heartfelt eulogy that soars beyond grades or poetic commentary. It is a slice of our collective, certain fate. I only pray that when I am called, I will have earned a poignant and loving dedication to my life that approaches the one you have penned. Only those who make a difference, IMHO, each in their own way, are honored so by those left behind.. Quite clearly, your loved ones who have passed made a difference. May Peace be their journey in eternity. With condolences and warmest regards, George
