HIs Last Smile

In honor of Asa James.

His clear blue eyes,

Looked weakly back into mine.

His lips gently curved,

Smiling for the last time.

Please don't leave,

Was my silent plea.

He took my hand and said,

"Don't forget me."

His hand slipped from mine,

Those were the last words he spoke.

His heart stopped beating,

And my heart broke.
