Silently, your face tells me of
all the trials that await me.
Your skin so wrinkled,
your deteriorating bone structure,
still vast in it's beauty.
Your eyes, they emanate
a rare love that I can recall from
all those times you kindled my cries.
But now they are masked in pain and I
need to brush it away.
This pain that I caused indirectly
because you worked every single day through night to
make a better life for me
and Ive wasted it.
I want so desperately to
lift this weight from your body,
so desperately to
give you the long overdue peace you deserve.
You wanted me to believe
and blamed yourself when I didnt, but mother,
my love for you is the purest faith Ive ever seen.
