A mother’s life‘s end 😔


“Rest now my baby
Suffer,
no more
Can’t see you hurting anymore”

Moaning, whimpered
Sat she broken-hearted
By the bedside
Of her adult child..
Her hug, her voice, her touch barely there
Vanquished I saw today a mother
Who lost her son
In despair she, forlorn
She was the first to hold him when he was born
And the last one still holding him when he’s gone
Today succumbed to death he..
But to this life she.
While now rest in peace he may
She’ll die a thousand times everyday
I couldn’t hold her hand, or say sorry
The power of death, of this agony
Or of the tears
Of a mother, now childless
Was beyond my words,
of condolences
The son’s untimely demise was somber
Oh but calamitous, was the death of a mother

“Rest now my baby..
Suffer,
no more..
Can’t see you hurting anymore”
