My Mother's Death

I wish I was older
I wish I could have done more
But instead I watch you lay there
Just gasping for help.

I could have done more
But what did I know
I was only but a mere
4 years old.

That very day 
I knew what it was
Death had captured you
And now u are on earth
Sleeping every day.

I never got to know much of you
Only what I am told
I wish I could have known
Even your favorite song.

You carried me for nine months
I was your main reason for living
But God taketh
He put you in a better place.

I wonder how it is up there mom
Even though you are not by my side
You are always in my thoughts in my mind.
