A Broken Farewell To Steffon
On this day of September 14, 2023, I write to my dearest and sweetest grandson, Steffon Andrew Sanders, born February 15, 2000, and died March 16, 2023.
Steffon, I miss you so much! It’s been six months since I’ve looked into your large, light brown, unassuming eyes. I miss the way your blinding smile would break through out of nowhere to brighten up your hospital room. I miss the warmth of your hands and the way your fingers curled tight to make small fists.
Although you were 23, you were still a baby to me. You never spoke, you never walked, you never went to prom, I dare not think of you too much in fear of breaking down.
I wish I was a Poet
as to write you something great
but the words don’t seem to flow
as I try to write them straight
The day you got your wings
was such a happy day for you
You finally found your freedom
and around the room you flew
I came as fast as I could run
to see you take your flight
when I arrived and looked at you
your body was all white
I recognized your eyes half shut
and all your curly hair
I held your hand, I rubbed your head
my grief too much to bear
I held your hand a little while
then gently rubbed your head
until they came into the room
and took you from your bed
The only thing left to take
were pictures from your wall
I turned around and took them down
then walked back down the hall
I haven’t been the same since then
your death each day now brings
it won’t be long because of age
that God sends me my wings.
We then can dance throughout the night
as Heaven’s starlight charms
and laugh for all eternity
within each other’s arms
