Your Freedom Poem by elani mills

Mary jane, you are a light,
you had given me peace when i was in pain,
now i believe i will never see a more painful sight,
i see you so hurt, and it drives me insane.

the doctors told me 'she will never leave this bed,
she will live as long as the machines keep,
but it wont be a good life, she will always be in her head,
dont leave her suffer here, let her go to eternity's sleep

i had not cried since i had heard of the crash,
i had so wanted to do you proud.
but at those words i wept, and at the doctors i lashed,
we had all thought it, but none wanted to hear it aloud.

we are all here now, we gathered here for you,
we are going to let you go, please take with you our love,
they said you would want it this way, i dont know that its true,
but i do know that you will fly,
as you always have,
with the pure white wings of a dove.
