Letter To Mum and Dad

Letter to Mum and Dad Dear Mum, Dear Dad, you're gone from my life. I remember you now as a good husband and wife. Dad, I saw you lay there. Lifeless, quite still. The shocks that they gave you, zapped at my will. When I touched you, your body, still warm, lips blue. A far cry from the father, the man I once knew. Your cheeks in contrast, stood out, quite bold. Your hand I touched. That memory I hold. Mum, I never saw you, when you passed away. You were alone in your bed, so it's for you that I pray. I remember you most, for the love that you gave me. Always caring, never judging, I wished I could save thee. Now that you're gone, I don't feel alone. You're the best parents in life, this child could have known. So it's with you in memory, my life has begun. I remain as always, your ever loving son.
