Goodbye Mom

Goodbye Mom… 


Goodbye, Mommy, goodbye, my love,
you're my God that I'm thinking of.
Losing your thoughts, you are so lost!
You do not know who you can trust.
What else is there? It's only pain;
I am crying, like quiet rain.
How can I find you when you're gone?
My days are numbered, gone with the dawn.
Who's holding you when you do walk?
Nobody's there for you to talk.
I left you there; forgive me, Mom.
I cried and cried. You looked so calm.
I said goodbye and left you there.
I am alone, grow in despair.
Goodbye, Mommy, goodbye, my dove,
You're my angel, an angel of love.
Forgive me, Mom, I left you there.
To me, my love, life is unfair.

JUst read your note about what this is about. It's so sad. I know others who are facing this heavy burden. It's just horrible on people and it killed my mom to finally put my stepdad in the nursing home.

It sounds like some regrets in this one. Makes me wonder about the circumstances of this poem because it is a heartfelt poem. As for my heart of fire, that was not me, Pashang! JUst my imagining someone with that circumstance.
