My Hero

My hero known to many as only Christine Now in the fluffy white clouds above In her short lived time on earth To many she was more than loved None more so than her only daughter Instilling morals to live by each day Having so much with the world to share Her only daughter wishing that she would stay Both of them knew it wasn't an option For her chosen time was coming near Living each day as if it were her last In her remaining life nothing left to fear Living 12 months longer than expected Appearing at work every other day In preparation all were shown their roles Easing them all in her own special way Finances put in order with bank accounts reassigned Paperwork checked and signed off by her legal team Doing so gave her some piece of mind Not wanting to leave anything unforeseen So up until 3 days before her death At home neither of us wanting to let go Of all the things and people in the world You're not only my mother but a true hero! 23/11/2017
