This is for my Mother. She passed away on June 06/2023
****************
Denying the tears that threaten to flow as the pain in my heart continues to grow.
Intruding thoughts one after another, show me the face of my suffering mother.
Shattered, I know I need to take action–please lord, bring me some needed distraction.
Take me away from anguish and grief; give me the time to do what she needs.
Release her from pain was all we could see as we made the decision, my sister and me.
Acting on her wishes is what she needs now; please give me strength someway, somehow.
Calls I must make to put things in motion, distract me a little from a sea of emotion.
Trying my best to hold things together; I fight back the pain that eats at the tether.
In moments of calm when I’m alone, I think of you, mom, and know that you’re home.
On wings of pure love you’ll travel soon, to be with your parents swinging on the moon.
Now with a smile I set your soul free, knowing when it’s time you’ll be waiting for me.
