Mama
Mama has been sleeping a lot…
When she wakes up
Not knowing who we are
We all look at each other with hurt in our hearts
Mama forgot my name, the girl that made her a mom
It broke my heart that day
I know she knows who I am, I think?
Dad says it’s the meds
Mama is so thin and her arms are cold
Do you need your corn bag warmed up?
I know the pain it hurts
Time to check your blood and take some meds
She ate how much sherbet? & a few bites of watermelon? That’s a great job mama!
Nothing we say or do will change the outcome in the end.
I’m still gonna be a daughter without her mother
And a girl without her friend.
Mama I don’t want to say goodbye
I’m being selfish I’m not ready
But I can see the pain behind those eyes
Wandering around not know where you are
One foot in this world the other in the next.
It’s ok mama you know damn well I’ll be ok
I’m sorry cancer took you and stole time away from us. We wished you were with us more but we understand love you too much!
