A Poem For My Mother

Every small sore is numbing pain 
As if morning can't see the rain 
Every small touch on your light skin 
Makes the world like it stops to spin 

Teardrops can't mend your heart's sorrow 
As if night has no tomorrow 
The days are counted like a few 
May God still give you lots of new 

For my mother who currently and coincidentally suffers from breast cancer and undergoes chemotherapy. I may not be that financially stable to help because of my condition and we had some differences before, but may this poem find you a morning sunshine and a holding rail. Thanks to my sister In law Christy and my brother Marvin and all who extend their sympathies

Thank you very much... It's so nice to know about others who survived... It gives me hope... Even for myself... Because I'm also going through a deadly disease...

Thank you very much... We had some differences before and I didn't know where to start from there...
