Mother

All my life I’ve looked up to you

You were everything to me

You are the only one I know I can always turn to

The one I strive to be

So when I found out that you have cancer

I felt my heart drop

I called out to God for an answer

Wishing the whole world would just stop

The tears didn’t stop strolling down my face

My body wouldn’t stop shaking

Not ready for everything that’s going to take place

Not ready for all the heartache

You’ve always been there through the bad

The one that always holds my hand

Always there when times get sad

But now it’s as though I’m standing quicksand

The thought of you hurting is unbearable

The thought of losing you breaks me

The pain is uncomparable

And something I don’t want to see

I wish we could go back in time

So I can make sure you know how much you mean to me

To make more memories to last a lifetime

But most importantly to tell you I love you mommy

I was browsing for poems to read with the keyword "mother", and I just stumbled upon your work.

I don't know, maybe I was just trying to find someone else who has the same painful experience as me.

And probably you do.

I just want to thank you for writing a heartfelt poem for your mother. I wish I could do the same but I still can't right now because of the pain.

Anyway, glad to read your poem.
