It is time for us to say goodbye
to a humble, loving man.
Desiring to be with your family,
you have bravely suffered
pain, treatments, and therapy.
The last 20 years have passed too quickly,
as you have fought to remain here
Even near the end
your thoughts were of your family.
Aware that your failing body
could not keep going much longer,
you spared your family
the anguishing decision
of when to withdraw
life-sustaining support.
By your actions
letting us know
that we must accept,
as you have,
that it is time for us
to say Goodbye.
One again leading us
with the assurance
that you will be there to greet us
when, someday, we too return home.
