My Mother Lost Her Life Today
My mother lost her life today
When lost in grief it's hard to say
How much that woman touched my heart
Dysfunctional family worn apart
But in our final days together
We sat with Mum in sunny weather
As years of cancer wore her down
She's fin-a-lly at peace, no frown
So grateful for those final days
She loved us all in different ways
She smiled at me at held my hand
I squeezed back gently, bedside manned
When she needed to know that we were there
We sat watching from grey chair
When scared and pained and short of breath
We settled her, no fear of death
We reminisced of holidays
And smiles all round at better days
We sat and watched her rest in peace
As pain so harsh did finally cease
Thank you for our time together
Now we can be at peace forever
