"Please leave the door cracked,"
she said as a child,
"You know I'm afraid of the dark."
Though tucked away in
her warm, comfy bed,
these were always her
last words of the day.

In the bed of a nursing home now,
after receiving her night's medications,
she tells the attendant,
"Go ahead, close the door,"
and to no one she whispers,
"I'm no longer afraid
of the dark."
