Mummy

Tears sting my eyes as upon my cheeks they fall Wrenching and ripping is my heart as i hear your spirit call Pounding bare fast on concrete Peeling and scraping the skin off my feet I enter the woods branches scratch at my face The red blood runs but i keep up the pace Clothes are all torn battered and bloody I found you the same tore up and muddy You were not breathing when i knelt at your side I cried out your name I thought you had died You coughed up some blood when i pressed on your tummy then you looked at me and smiled and said, ‘You made it mummy’
