Hi, getting Ready to say Good Bye

My Mother is and was too much for words

Hey Mum

I know you've left the building
You've checked out

You're Gone

I know you're here

Not really, though

Not for long

Something happened when you fell

That time you were alone

So tired after 80 plus years

And then you just let go
And decided you were done
No more outside.  No more fears

I am flying out to see you

Will you remember me I wonder
I'm sure we'll talk about the weather for a short while

And then you'll lose focus

After 5 minutes

And drift away again with a smile

Lost in the game?

Lost in your thoughts?

What are you thinking now, Mum?

Do you remember that you love me?

Will you know how much I love you

No matter what may come?

Author's Note

Sometimes tears drown the words and there are no survivors.
