Hanging up, the words echoed inside my head
"She's asleep, do you understand?
She's gone - your mother is dead."
I tried to find courage to fight the pain,
as outside it grew quiet and started to rain...


Standing in the doorway, looking at you,
hit by reality, I realized your life was through.
Never again would I my feelings bare,
or hear you tell me how much you care.
No more of your love and warmth would I feel
now came the pain, this hurt will never heal.
One by one the tears stained my face,
as I thought of you being in a better place.
Leaning over, I can't hold back and start to cry,
as I kiss your cheek and whisper softly,
I love you dear momma,
goodbye.
