Mommy

I've watched many things

Like my little sister cry

The leaves change colors

And cloud shapes across the sky

The hardest thing to watch

Was my mom fade away

My dad was never around

But why, my mom wouldn’t say

How would you feel

If your mom had cancer

And the doctors said there was

No solution, no answer

Before she was fine

No problems at all

But then she found a lump

An unexpected pitfall

She went through the chemo

And even surgery

“We don’t know why it’s not working”

The doctors told me

She stayed on machines

In the hospital all day

Some days I’d skip school

And next to her I’d stay

I didn’t care about anything

Anymore except

My mom and my sister

Who were all I had left

My little sister didn’t

And couldn’t understand

Why my mom was suffering alone

Why she had no dad

I tried to explain

What my mom was going through

Bu then my sister asked me

“You don’t know either do you?”

My eyes filled with tears

And then she told me

“It’s not your fault sissi.

It’ll get better, you’ll see.”

But as much as I hoped

And cried and prayed

It never got better

It was worse or the same

Then one day it ended

She never woke up

She was done suffering

The pain was too much

I know she’s gone

To a better place somewhere

If there really is a heaven

She deserves to be there

I miss you mommy

But my promise I’ll keep

I’ll take care of Faith

While you forever sleep.
