To Mum,
I sit beside you, Mom
On deathÂ’s doorstep you lay
I set my head upon your wrist
As I bow my head to pray
The world to me shut off
The silence here is thick
Alone just you and I
And your watchÂ’s rhythmic tick
I block out all my pain
And loss IÂ’m sure to feel
I concentrate now deeply
On the tick your watch reveals
I sit here now for days
And hear the rhythmic sound
I contemplate you being gone
The thought now seems profound
The time for you is near
To enter HeavenÂ’s Gate
IÂ’ll stay here by your side
Until your journey is complete
ItÂ’s months now since youÂ’ve passed
My wounds are healing slow
I want so much to hear your voice
To see your smileÂ’s glow
I lay my head upon my wrist
When my feelings are too strong
I hear your watchÂ’s rhythmic tick
And know youÂ’re never gone
If you could say something to anyone irregardless of where or who or what state he/she is in now, what would it be?
