Will

Mother
listen
take this pill
I'll stop death
with my own will
I cower not
of any thought
for hopes
to keep you still
you must be strong
and stop this ache
of pain
that makes you ill
but if you must
take my heart
for it
keeps beating strong
its beats have lasted
before your known
and keep lasting
till your gone.
