TRUTH: YOU BECOME YOUR MOTHER, OR YOU DON'T.


73 years old

and her constant is change

she's seen and done it all

and her perserverance stays the same

with grand-children of her own

she knows the long and lonely road

that leads to love and

that teaches you to let go.

As days count down

till she's in that hospital gown

a mother she will be

till her very last breath 

and everybody will realize

the truth of a mother

in the perspective of their eyes

and one day they'll see

they all just want to

Rest

In

PEACE

with a dose of MOTHERS MEDICINE

to 

Help

Get

Some

Sleep.
