The Last Time He Sees Her Alive

Janet Kuypers, 06/27/06

“thank you for your wonderful daughter”
are some of the words John said to her
because if they leave soon to go back home
it might be the last time he sees her alive

and she said
“I’m glad she has you
you two are a great pair”

and when I first heard that
all I could think
was that she was glad I had you to lean on
as she is dying

and I know that’s not what she said
and I’m sure that’s probably not what she meant
but that sticks in my head anyway

because I know it comes up at the most
inopportune times, and I start crying
or at least I try to stop myself
and if John sees that I need it,

he lets me collapse in his arms

and I don’t know how many times I’ll do this
I don’t know how long this pain
of impending death will continue

so thank you for creating me
whether or not it was for john
because I don’t know how I could lose you
if I didn’t have him to help me survive
