For My Mum

For my mum By Michelle Morris 10/11/2022 Dear Mum, I'm finding it hard to grasp the words To express how I truly feel It's not easy to be vulnerable As a man in this world But, as your time is running out And I scramble to spend it with you I see the impact on our family What losing you will mean, in truth I know I'll need to be prepared To step up for everyone But inside I'm feeling broken Because you are my beloved mum I don't want to lose you I don't want to let you go So, please could you stay a little longer 'Cos I'm praying for you to come home Perhaps I am deluded Wishing for time to stand still for me But I am dreading the moment When I have to set you free Please know that I'll love you forever And that I am grateful to be your son You are the best mum I could wish for And you're a blessing to everyone With love © Michelle Morris, 2022
