Very moving
Describes last moments I spent with my father in law. A precious moment, I shall never forget. It was a honour to be with him at the end.
Thanks Tom

The moment of passing on is beautifully captured in your poem Tom.

Oh Tom... washing machine eyes for me, such a beautiful well versed poem, so moving and touching. What a tender way to portray the last moments on earth, peaceful and calm... perfect.

Thank you Tom for sharing.

Love and hugs to you and Paula
