I wrote it. I just want to know how it got on this website. This poem was written for my family after my Mother passed away. It is what happened in her hospital room right before she dies. I don't mind that it is being read by a lot of people. As a matter of fact, I'm flattered, however, with that said, I am shocked that I found it here.
