Death and dying Quote by Guardian
“I don't know what will happen next My only memories come when I reflect My life has suddenly turned a sharp bend Because my great grandfather is now at his end He went to a home in a whole different state Soon Heaven Will again open Heaven's Gates The final time I saw him, I thought I'd see him again I thought I'd visit where new memories began But then I heard of his transportation to a nursing home Right then and there, I crawled into my dome. I didn't get the change to say goodbye I didn't think he would this soon die But the suffering of his and all others wont continue for too long And we will all continue moving along.”
