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
