A Mothers Love

Dont tell him I'm dead she said As I sat by her death bed Holding her hand I said Don't worry now mama Just rest your head You are the strong one she said As I held back the tears That would drown me for years I smiled at her and said Don't worry now mama Just rest your head Two years later Her son was dead The loss of his mother Haunted his head As I sat by his bed and said Don't worry now bro Just rest your head

This one breaks my heart. I have held my own mother's hand......but to lose a brother too......is hard to even imagine. Beautiful and touching!
