My Perfect Mom
I just found out, not sure it’s real,
Jail chaplain told me, to numb to feel.
My stomachs churning, heart has sunk,
I can’t believe, am in a funk.
Should have been there, made you go,
Sometimes I wonder, did you know.
Think you gave up, when Nana left,
Then with Pappy, and all their theft.
All you did was hide and grieve,
I finally had to up and leave.
I screwed up, by falling down,
No turning back I’m almost drown.
I cannot breath just want to hide,
Wanted to be there, by your side.
Wish I could have, said goodbye,
I never thought, that you would die.
Just leave this earth, now heaven bound,
Without a word, not one sound.
Last words I heard, message on my cell,
Good luck sweetie, I wish you well.
I love you too, wish I could show,
Would take it back, would let you know.
No matter what, you’re “MY PERFECT MOM”!!!

In loving memory of the one person who forgave me no matter what and loved
me unconditionally.
