Mom said she always loved my poems, And indeed they have always made her cry. One last thought, from my heart to yours Mother,When you look down upon me, know that my love for you will never die.When I stood there beside you,Could you feel me there?My hand was in your hand,And I was stroking your hair.I watched your every breath,And prayed that each one wasn't your last.The time we got to share together,Went by too quick...Too fast.I wanted you to wake up,Please Mom...Open your eyes.Tell me this is a nightmare,And not our goodbyes.As your last breath grew closer,We were connected peacefully together.My heart continually breaking,Because I wanted you forever.Then there it was,Your final breath of air.I didn't want to believe it,This is so cruel and not fair.I touched your beautiful face,And prayed you'd breathe again.I wasn't ready for you to go,I couldn't admit that this was the end.But then I realized that you were now in peace,And not suffering anymore.You were beginning the life of an Angel,And your body would no longer be sore.I held you close and squeezed you tight,And tried to say goodbye.I've lost my Mom and my confidant,All my heart could do is cry.I slowly rose up,I wanted so much to stay.I leaned over and gave you one more kiss,It was so hard to walk away.But for now I have to wait,Until we meet again.You will always be in my heart and thoughts,My dear Mom, my best friend.Always and Forever,Our hearts will always touch.Always and Forever,Your baby boy loves you so much.Rest in peace sweet Mother – I love you, Mark
