Her Childs Last Prayer

Her Childs Last Prayer Hello Mum I know it’s been so long Since I spoke to you All the years have passed between I have grown up into a man I hope I am a pride for you I pray you are safe and sound In the place where you have gone I hope you have not forgotten your son I still remember you Hi Mum Are you watching Can you see me Can you see that I am burning up inside I have found the one thing I have searched for All my life This love is so consuming I don’t know if I will survive Without her by my side Mother I know that the time has gone I know I have done So many things wrong If you can see me Please remember your son Mother won’t you help me Please Hi Mum Are you listening In your perfect spirit In your better world I hope that you can hear me I have no one else to turn to Mother will you hear my prayer Will it reach you Sometime somewhere Mother Will you plead my case To the written annals of fate Can you ask them to change the lines And make her mine Will you stand with your shinning heart Tell destiny we should not be apart Mother Will you plead for me Mother please Save me Can you see I am burning up inside The one thing I have searched for all my life This love is so consuming I don’t know how I will survive Without her by my side Hi Mum Are you listening You must know by now the life I lost I am asking for just one recompense to the cost Won’t you help wipe away the years of pain Help me start again Is there a drop of mercy in the eyes of God And do those eyes believe in love I know that you have seen them I have no one else to turn to Mother This love is so consuming I don’t know how I will survive Without her by my side She is the light Beneath my sun Mother please Please For the sake of love Save your son

I don't see how your mother could feel anything but pride. Forgiveness and support are part of a loving mother's nature. You certainly have a gift for evoking emotion, Colin. Beautifully written! Love, Carolyn

The bond you had with your mother was strong and can easily be seen in this poem. Confiding in her is the best thing you can do. Beautiful, poignant work...Raul
