Memories of My Late Mother
Folder:
Bizarre/Death Even when death approached,
You showed without reproach.
You took the pain in stride
Just to call my name aside.
As I reflected on your dignity,
The way you faced sudden tragedy,
My spirit overwhelmed me,
With your loss, strength had bereft me.
The look of death didn't change you -
Kindness and peace yet still
on your solemn face impressed,
That scene on my mind would never efface.
Softness radiated love
as you were laid in lifeless estate -
Or was it forgiveness for those
Weeping loved ones you left behind.
Today, I look back pensively
Wond'ring those amazing feats you did.
The gifts of life you gave to us,
No earthly treasure can ever replace.
