Only For Her

Dogs are barking.

Sheep are grazing.

Birds are singing.

Mom’s still sleeping.

 

Memories dancing in my head.

Remembering all she said.

I can’t shake the feeling of dread.

Mom’s still in bed.

 

I can’t think, nothing’s clear.

There is only fear.

That the end is near. 

Mom’s still here.

 

I need to hold it together,

If only for her.
