Good by Mommy

I held my mother when she died and I wrote a secret poem because no one knows that she said that she was done and that I believe that she died in my arms I felt the peace of her passing 6/2/2010

She sat there

We had played cards

She loved Uno

It was bed time

Her off to bed with a book

Me off to bed with my mate

 

An hour passes

She calls to me

Get her inhaler

Does not work

I call an ambulance

She struggles coughing

Cant sit up

Lays down on the couch

I try to sit her up

She says I am done

I am going with your father

Im tired

Good by I love you

 

I scream for her to wake up

She is passed out

She stops breathing

The ambulance is not there

Mom come back I scream

My children sleep thru it all

I do not know how

CPR

Still no breath

Still no heart beat

She went to be with my dad

 

A peace spreads thru my body and soul

I know she is in peace

I dont want to let her go

I fight but the peace is so strong

 

The ambulance comes

They shock her

They do CPR

She opens her eyes when they take her outside

She smiles

She says Hello Gary

Peace envelops me

She closes her eyes

They never open again

 

The ambulance goes to the hospital

The doctor says she is gone

Fluid on her heart

Nothing could of been done

 

I knew

I knew

She never left home

Her body left

Her soul stayed

She is with my father and she is happy
