It’s Okay

It’s okay to let go…

Even though your heart cries out

To cling with every ounce of

Fitful courage you can muster,

“One more hour.

One more day.

One more precious memory.”

Knowing that without you

Life would surely

Lose its luster.

 

Through the pain

Your brow unbent,

Unfading smile

Etched on your face.

So adored, my haloed hero,

If only I could take your place.

 

Asking the travail be finished.

Longing, yearning not to go.

So afraid to leave behind

The precious few to pine away.

Worried for your one true love,

A ghost ship lost without a sail.

Don’t fear, my love.

We’ll meet again.

Don’t worry now.

It’s okay.
