Some people
You give up on
Disown
Though you swear
Never to speak
With them again
Life is something
Else sometimes
Once forgiveness
Has occurred
A decision must be made
Making peace
With someone
In the last year
Of their life
Is important
For the soul
My last remaining relative
Sister of my grandmother
Always thought of only herself
Last I saw her
Was 5 years ago
She was senile and quite mean
But now seeing her
In some random
Nursing home
In an Arab town
Her mind and body
Ravaged by a stroke
As well as what
I believe to be
Lewy body Dementia
All of that hurt
Left in a heart beat
Because recognition
Came that she had
LBD 5 years ago too
I held her hand
She didn't recognize me
But she sensed
Mom and I were
Family
So she held on to
My hand with strength
As I mouthed that
I forgave her
And that she could let go
It was important
To make sure
That my soul was
Making peace
Because I knew
In my heart of hearts
That that was the
Last time we
Would see her alive
She was free to be
With her sisters now
We visited my guardian angel's
Resting place
Right before
Mirachka is with
Me all of the time
And I know she is
Proud of me for
Making peace
With her sister
It's all about
The soul
And I know mine
Has another layer
Of peace
And that's the most
Important thing
To us souls
Living human lives
