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.

We lay upon an earthen bed

surrounded by the trees

there was nothing else in the world

only you and me.

~

The summer rain upon our cheeks

as we lay so still

remembering how earlier

the sound of the whipperwill

~

As it landed on my shoulder

and sang us a pretty song

the magic that surrouded

still lasts all day long

~

I remember how you felt

my hand upon your cheek

for the first time ever

I didn’t feel meek.

~

I remember

I remember

when will I stop?
