I Saw My Mother Smile
My father died
She was angry
She died inside
Hard to make her laugh
Impossible to see her enjoy life from that point on
She just existed
Last few days she wouldn't eat
She wouldn't take liquid
Last day on this earth JOY
She smiled
She talked to my Dad
She argued with him
Laughed with him and everyone that had passed before her
I watched a miracle
I believe
