I watched as the old, tired hands of my grandmotherPulled at the tubes attached to her body.I watched as she struggled to sit up,And gasped for air that simply would not come.I watched as they lowered the casket,Sealing her away from me forever.Her life had been one of giving,One of loving, of sharing, of laughing.I would not weep for my grandmother.I would not cry out for her.I would not forget her pain.She had suffered enough, and did not need my tears.
