This is it

she is tired of fighting

and even though

i feel like crying

she needs this time of joy.

~

this is it

she is going to leave us soon

The smile on her face

still fills the room

all I want to do is swoon

in this little time left.

~

This is it

no more chemo for her

She is so very tired

i have done all i can to help her

now she will go on alone

~

what do I do

without my mother

without her cherished love

~

I feel so damn selfish

knowing she will soon

be watching us from above

~

But this is it

This i must accept

It won’t be long

till I am with her yet

~

it won’t be long

until I sing to her

our song

and kiss her goodbye.

and tell her

I love you mom

goodbye. goodbye.

The summer storms
are so wild
they make me feel
just like a child

~

Thunder crashes
lightning booms
I feel the tremble
throughout all the rooms

~

I run outside
I skip and dance
the thunderstorm
puts me in a trance

~

Childlike glee
comes over me
I raise my arms up high
and scream at the sky

~

The rain sweeps in
all I can do is grin
as I become
soaked to the skin

~

The summer storms
break the skies
the exquisite smells are abound
as I sing and dance around

Summer storms please come back soon
you make me want to swim with joy
