It was a day that I was bound to dread.

I woke up in the hospital and found you dead.

I told the nurse that I thought you had died and she examined you.

She found no pulse and she confirmed what I believed to be true.

Your death occurred ten years ago today.

After living for 64 years, you passed away.

I woke up my brother and told him that you died.

When I went home, I licked my wounds and cried.

I had to accept the fact that your life had come to an end.

You weren't only my mother, you were also my closest friend.

I loved you and people know how important you were to me.

You have been gone from my life for one tenth of a century.

You died even though I begged God to save you when I prayed.

Rest in Peace, Mom, today you've been dead for an entire decade.
