Heartbreaking at best of times... But spare a thought for them.

In the hospice waiting to pass

He looked at his beloved families faces.

Worn out, sad and miserable.

He feels useless to them

he can not comfort them.

And they thinking to themselves

what can they do to make

make him feel loved?

We all come into this world

and everyone is upbeat and happy.

And when the time comes to depart

and leave. Sorrow and sadness

lead the way.

Instead of finding comfort in holding hands,

smiling and telling funny stories

of times gone past. And showing affection

kindness and love.

Starting at him with a mournful face

upsets him more.

They sit and mourn before he passes.

And he can't say or do anything.
