Poetry: Dying

by Mary Guimont

Created on: July 07, 2010   Last Updated: February 11, 2012

This is poem is dedicated to my sister Pamela Jane Guimont.  Who passed away on March 22. 2010.

Dear Pammy,

I went to the park today

and I thought of you

as I watched two sisters play.

Blond hair eyes of blue..

One looked like Laura

the other of you..

I then I heard the voice of a little girl's voice plea

Wawa, Pammy, come play with  me.

It was Rainy sitting under a tree

beside our mom who held me.

Then a man did appear.

Of a spirit that we all had loved so dear.


It was Daddy Jim you see,

telling Pammy it was time to leave,

She smiled and ran to him

Leaving Laura Lorraine and mom and I behind.

and called out to us as we began to cry,

That we all would be together again.

That her spirit still was alive.

And we could still feel it if we tried


And then I saw another,

It was my father's brother.

They'd both toke my sister's hand

and then their images began to fade.

But I did see my sister smile and wave.


Without a tear on her face.

and a heart filled with peace and grace.
