Loraphine

My dad died a year or so ago,, when he was lying in his deathbed he had to have a combination of two medicines Lorazepam and morphine so this poem is about that.

Loraphine.. my nightingale..

take me into your embrace.

calm my soul and pain erase.

kiss me tenderly, let me 

drown in you. In sweet 

slumber I lay. My cares and 

woes are swept away. Soon 

never again will I awake.

Into the light I must partake.

Leaving this world and all I love 

to my place in heaven above. 

There I will join those that went 

before Me. My death is not the 

end, there is A new journey here 

for me. So Do not Greave or cry 

for me, fore I am with The Lord. 

I am finally free. 

Dedicated  to my dad

Hello Tina. A lovely dedication to your late Dad. This combination of drugs would have aided a peaceful transition from this world to the next. Your lines had a calming, slowing down effect. I am sorry for your loss. It is good to see a post from you. It’s been a while.

I connected with this. My mother was dying of lung cancer and was dosing heavily on morphine. I didn't object since she was a wonderful woman who was in great pain. I miss her.

Your words are such a beautifully touching tribute to and for your darling father, Tina. The many essential drugs can alter an onlooker's perspective of the needy person. But as you so finely say infer a combination f like that is such a blessing help into the next world. And yes, finally free.
