Momma

I stand by your bed

I lay my head on your bedside

And feel your shaky hands

reach out to comfort me

It hurts so much to believe

That I am losing you

Seeing those saddened eyes stare into mine

The face

That used to urge me to push forward

When I wanted to just give up and cry

Now I have to be strong for you

Even though I just want to break down and scream

You whisper"Hold on and It will be all right.My little dove its time you spread your wings and fly because death is a part of life.It happens to everyone.Even me.Just be good and we will be together again.Smile one last time for me"

Forcing a smile

The pain tearing at me

Then those loving eyes closed

And she let go

The rain began to fall from eyes

I begged"Please dont leave me"

Losing it all

Becoming as fragile as a child

Broken by the cruel wrath of death

Holding onto the hand

That had given me life

Asking myself why it couldnt have been me

My lips tremble

I shake

Trying to gasp this cruel reality

Then I felt the warmth

Of an unseen light'

And I knew it would be alright

Because my momma was watching over me

Though her face I couldnt see

She was forever with me
