A Mother is a mother still

The holiest thing alive.

~ Coleridge

How do I tell her

that its okay?

it’s okay to go away?

How do I tell her

its okay to let go?

I will watch the others grow?

How do I tell her

How do I tell her?

How much longer

can She stay this way?

terrible pain, every day?

How much longer

can She endure?

with Pain so Pure?

How much longer

How much Longer?

What can I do

but be there through the pain

As Her tears fall like rain?

What can I do

but tell Her I love her

                                                   Wish I was more like her?

How do I tell Her?

How much Longer?

What can I do?

But stay strong?

Death lies on Her

Like an untimely frost

Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.

~Shakspeare

 

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.
