Dear God

Lucid moments with her

are fewer

and far between.

She is,

but I’m not,

forgetting who she used to be.

God tell me, what to do

when you lose a person who

is still standing in front of you.

Dear God,

please don’t take her

away from me.

There is still so much in life

she has yet to see.

Like true love,

nephews and nieces—

and things with time

like old-age-creases.
