Did You Go Gentle In to the Goodnight

*Mother and son* Hard to believe they died 36 hours apart…

Did you

Go gentle

Into the goodnight

Floating away

Peacefully like

A dream

Or was it

A roaring fight?

Did you

Watch

For the

Guiding light?

Did the hand

That created us

All welcome

You through

Heaven’s gate?

Did you

Fade away

Like a dimming light

Or

With a roar

Like thunder

During a storm?
