Mommy's eyes start to fog up
I'll never forget that sad day
When she said she was hurting
and she'd have to go away.
The doctor called it cancer
but I think it's just pain.
It had come back now
To hurt her all over again.
She started to sob and weep
As she held my little hand..
I didn't cry, I was in denial
I just wanted to understand.
Why did she have to leave me?
Did she really want to go?
She obviously didn't love me
Or at least she didn't let it show!
Daddy told me she loved me
and it wasn't her choice to leave.
But I just wanted her here..
Mommy, you, I will never deceive.
I laid with her on the hospital bed
As she softly opened one eye..
I kissed her on the forehead
and we both started to cry.
"Are you really leaving?"
I asked, my eyes swollen red.
I knew that she was going,
But I couldn't imagine her dead.
She then whispered "I love you
Don't let good things get you down."
She closed her eyes tight
I started to cry and frown.
"Because now you have an angel
Who will watch over you,
Who will treasure you forever
and always get you through."
"I'm your mommy, always.
And even though I'm not here
I will always be with you in spirit
and I will always love you my dear."
Mommy closed her eyes peacefully
My eyes were now crimson red.
I let the last tear fall slowly
I knew that mommy was dead.
but now she'd be my angel
All dressed in beautiful white.
Out of this tragic event,
I finally saw the light..
