A Mother's Wait

Her eyes waited so long now its down for forever Once he was her’s light and now reason of darkness Once he was the one she lived for She loved and nurtured him Because he was her only son. She made him strong but not enough to let her go She taught everything except living without her In happiness and illness she stood alongside She fought alone her every way Because she was a single parent. Yet one day he left her to be mourned alone To move on with his life because now she was old He found his love and moved for future His way was different, his goals were far-far away Because he never returned to her mother.
