Never To Say Goodbye

The call came in the evening
So many friends were around
My family all left
Heading for the hospital
Left alone I knew something
But there was no way to be sure
In that time she took her last breath
Her heartbeat softened and ended
Then my mom was gone
And I never got to say goodbye
