Jacqueline, My Mother, My Hero

My Forever Hero

 
You are my hero forevermore-forever
because you did not give up never-never;
Mom, you are my hero:
so brave with courage and kindness ever !

You were sick for years but never complained
life was hard and there were days strained;
Mom, you will always be my hero:
and each day you were joyful and not constrained !

Though you had to carry heavy oxygen tanks
we went on many adventures-   so thanks;
oh, yes Mom, you are my hero:
and we talked lots with you filling in the blanks ! 

And when the end came you said let me go
your Dad is waiting up above-   you know;
Mom you are my hero:
I whispered okay-  oh, what a dagger blow !

I am so proud to be your daughter Mom
because of your grace now I am a girl calm;
I want to be like my hero:
and as you died I held your hand in my palm !
