Please Don'T Die

I hoped that there would be more days I hoped there'd be more years But this pain I'm feeling within my heart keeps drawing up these fears This cancer you have wants to take you away I don't want to say goodbye Please Mom, please Mom please don't die I know that you can beat this I know you can somehow I need you here with me I need you here right now I know you can get through this Just fight it, just try Please Mom, please Mom please don't die The life you lived upon this earth was never long enough You have made it through everything till now Cause' you have always been so tough I don't want to have to miss you I don't want to have to cry So, Please Mom, please Mom please don't die By Roger Horsch

First of all I want to thank you for reading my poem and for your heartfelt concern. My mother is not in much pain, but she is still fighting her cancer. She is a strong woman.

I agree with Andrea, this is heartbreaking, and almost too painful to read. I am sure that this was not an easy subject to write about. Very well done, Roger! I hope your Mom pulled through this...Hugs!

Thank you Linda, I am going through this with my mother. She,s been fighting her cancer for two years and can not have any more komo. she has one to two more years to live. The poem was how I felt at that time. I find that when you write from your heart you will never run out of things to say. I always love to hear from you Roger. PS Check out my brothers poems on soup. His name is Christopher Thor Britt. He is a very good Writer.
