The Way My daughter has this on her notebook and when I saw it I remembered your post about Maggie. I can't read it without crying, but I hope that it can help. Unfortunately I don't know who the author is.
The Way
In the darkness I turned to go; my last day's done, I'll miss you so.
No time even to say goodbye or lick the tears spilling from your eyes.
That's when I heard you call my name; I knew then I must ease your pain.
Since I've no voice with which to speak,
Its whispers in your dreams I'll make.
Ease your heart and rest your mind, my time with you was the best of kind.
I couldn't have asked for a better friend, we've shared our journey to the very end.
There's one final thing you need to know, I'll whisper in your ear before I go...
"I'm leaving first to find the way- I'll lead you there on your last day."
