This is so heart touching. I remember the last moments of a close relative, in her mid nineties (~94+) . We could nothing after docs said no use giving her pain while she departs, we just watched her sink. This is how I conveyed the feelings of the loved ones in poem:
A most nobel heart beats no more
Hands that rocked our cradle now rest
It breaks our heart to see you go
Yes! HE only takes the best.
Your entire life was dedicated to others
You love for all was true
What you did so much for others
They are sure to remember you.
We sat beside your bedside
Our hearts were heavy and sore
We did our duty to the end
Till we could do no more.
In tears we watched as you were sinking
You were slowly fading away
Though the scene was so heart wrenching
We knew no more you could stay
Words can not express how much we love you
We really don’t know how to say
God only knows how much we miss you
In our home and hearts today.
Remembrance they say is golden
Maybe it is very true
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted you!
Rekha Sahay ji, During this incident I had written one more Poem about this same departed soul. I vaguely remember you had visited that blog. That is one of the very ling poems written by me and that too in minutes. All HIS blessing. https://wordpress.com/post/rkkblog1951.wordpress.com/616

Heart touching poem. Yes, I can understand that feeling. I loved the last lines –
we never wanted memories
We only wanted you!
I feel the same way n will try to write something on these lines, in Hindi.
