In your hospital bed

I've never been big on words,
Never been open expressing the way I feel,
Until one day I realized,
That life…and pain...are real.

I thought I'd lose her.
I swear I didn't say enough prayers.
Still, to the heavens I looked,
to the skies I stared..
Hoping that God would understand,
It was her life that He needed to spare.

Her story kept replaying in my mind.
Her legend, captivating my soul.
Her life was in danger,
Destiny not something I could control.

I sat in my bed for hours,
cheeks stained with my desperate tears,
Reminiscing on the care,
and the unconditional love throughout my years.

She is my hero,
My queen that gave me strength.
When the pain was never-ending,
She conquered it's everlasting length.

Without my guardian angel,
I know I couldn't survive,
I need her to be with me,
For she nurtured my spirit 'ttillt became alive.

In her image,
I relive.
Learning from her,
I give.
Because of her,
I live
and For her,
I forgive.

It is her tender heart that touches my soul,
giving it wings from deep within,
She painted the beauty of my life,
and it is here my praises begin.

The day came,
The clock tolled and the rain fell.
My mind falling through hell.
I wouldn't let this be farewell.

Promises of tomorrow,
Prayers for today.
Everlasting hope,
Knowing God wouldn't take her away.

She has so much more to give,
So much more to teach,
and I'm so glad she's still here,
Never too far away to be out of reach.

To Mom;

I love you so much.
