Notes About The Poem

My mom passed away yesterday. We are broken-hearted. 

We Who Mourn

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

—Matthew 5:4

WE WHO MOURN

what death has done
to my mom -
shady.
in a comatose state,
her last breath
brings one tear
that clings to
the corner of her eye.
final hugs and kisses.
she knows we’re all there.
nothing to do
but walk away
and remember my sweetheart of a mom -
forever.
