Mother Last Day © Ruth Morris I held her hand as she silently whispered her goodbye A last breath as I watched her die Her skin swollen-battered and bruised By all the things that they felt they needed to use I stroked her hair and wiped her eyes Wanting so much for them to open and see That I was alone there in the world Alone with the agony growing inside of me I watched those around me shed their tears And utter their words of sorrow How could they know that I was dying inside? I couldn’t and you wouldn’t – face tomorrow One last time I kissed your face And held your hand to touch my cheek I wanted to carry you away from there My fragile mother who was just too weak I heard the people all around me The silence of the machines now so loud And I walked away – my heart now broken And tried to face the waiting crowd I love and miss you so much MOM!
