dressed in a
traditional costume
with bright yellow, gold and white
“We dress you beautifully
as you always did”
I looked at him
touched his hand
it's cold
It’s actually better this way
than see him suffer
but I still cried painfully with guilt
for not being there with him,
not loving him enough when I could
losing him forever
so difficult to accept
I beg you to come back
Am I too greedy?
You were 88!
