A Mothers Smothered Pain

Blackened killing little by little silently Fighting sickness violently Aching endlessly throughout your entire being Sucking it down so family goes unseeing Battling silently while frightened of the end Wanting only happiness while there's still time to spend Keeping hope alive for your children's sake The sadness you catch in thier eyes almost more than you can take. Feeling it grow inside choking out your air So many bad people this could happen to, life seems unfair Looking in your childrens eyes Inevitably each day more of you dies Hoping each one can move on once that time has come When your purpose here is done and you must return to where you're from Each moment allowing your feelings to show So when you arent there they wont question but will know.. That every breath thier mother took since they were sent down from above Each breath was taken with an abundance of unquestionable love.. Now that shes gone and walks with Jesus instead We can hear her voice " my love lives forever in your hearts and head"
