Mommy
by Lisa Fisher
As I sat watching by your bed,
A million thought ran through my head.
Of just how much were you aware?
Did you know that I was there?

Could you feel the love I sent,
In whispered word, Or prayer bent?
Upon my cross as I asked God,
To spare your life for my selfish cause?

So that I could tell you just once more,
"I love you Mommy! " as I had before.
And we could chat like days of old,
Over coffee cups all rimmed with gold.

And laugh and joke, or just to share
some small hurt and perhaps a tear.
To talk of the past, or things yet to do.
To sniffle, and sneeze, and say "Bless You! "

All these dreams now hang in shreds,
As I sit here with bowed down head.
And ponder on these sad thoughts.
Just to wonder, "Was it all for naught? "

I lost my Mum too. and she was ill for quite a long time. cancer killed her. and I watched her dying, day by day. and in the end only her eyes were alive. but she couldn't speak. she couldn't move. it haunts me today. not knowing if she was aware of anything. of me.

I do not no what it is like to loose a parent. But just last week i went to a friends mothers funeral it has touched me so much and made me be thankful of what i have and the pain that everyone else has gone through.

This brought tears to my eyes. I lost my mom from breast cancer on Oct 22, 2002. I took care of her when she was sick, and I know the feeling of wondering if she knew I was there with her, but I think even though she coudln't tell me that she knew, she did.
sarah
Your poem is great. It brought tears to my eyes, I know the feeling. My Mom died almost 4 years ago when i was 13. And at times I still cry. You will never get over the fact that you lost her. And remember your not alone. And if you need to cry then cry, its a good thing. cause tears are upspoken words. I loved your poem. I hope you write more. its very moving.
