Mother

Mother







Quietly I witness you lying in this awful bed.


An endless wave of emotions run through my head.


If you opened your eyes I know exactly what you would say.


You would smile the same way as you have every day.






“I have seen beautiful sunsets and smelled many a rose


Witnessed my children laugh as I tickled their toes


I know what it is like to dance in the rain


The gift of life I have far outweighs the pain






I have felt the love of my family until the end


I have learned to treasure my dearest friends


Everyone has their own time to die


So please for me there is no need to cry






Be not afraid for me as I enter the light


For I am not and I know he is by my side


Don’t cry for me my precious son


Help me celebrate for my new life has just begun”






So this may be our time to say goodbye


For you there is only joy in these tears I cry


I love you mother for everything you have done


I feel so honored just to be your son
