Eulogy

Sensitive conversations Increased tentative answers To a tough situation In truth no one knows What will come next Not even the doctors With their varying opinions The choices are getting More and more grim Your eyes now Rarely opening Your answers To our questions no longer making sense I’m left wondering Is there really value Continuing this path Your life stuck in bed Unable even to move your hands Suffering in pain As all that makes you, Yourself, Slips away into the depths Of disease and illness. Family and loves ones Hanging on to all the moments Of the time you have. Hoping there still is a chance Loving you so completely Not wanting to see you pass. Yet even as I write this I’m unsure what should be done My love and compassion For you, thinks maybe you’ve been through enough Perhaps even too much yet that same love doesn’t want to let go to live on an earth where you are no more would forever make me feel alone There is nothing That can replace a mother’s love
