My Love Faded Away

I had kissed her goodnight for the very last time For in the morning she was gone She lay in misery until the end She could not drink, speak or eat She died right in front of me She had signed a do not resuscitate me They would not feed her food or give her anything to drink I was helpless and I just watched her die She would cry through the night for twenty one days I was the only care giver so I was up all of those days Exhausted I was but I never gave up For she was my mother and we had a great love I miss her still to this day for our love will never fade away

Hi Bobby, Your heartfelt write about your dear mother touched deeply. Tears started to flow as I read what was in the depths of your. A love between a mother and son is special( I know I have a son). I saw that bond and love as I read this poem as well. I am so sorry for your loss. I wish you the best of luck in the contest-Alexis
