    Poem Commentary

    My mother passed on Sunday June 27th 2010 3 am at home in her bed. She suffered from cancer and it was a relief to see the pain gone where it can't reach her anymore. Wring this has helped me get it out, but there is more to inside.

    Wait....Wait....



    After coming back from the hospital
    I couldn't wait to tell you about my new
    guess what happened now story.
    Then it hit me in the gut ....

    There was a funny joke to tell you
     and of course I wanted to share,
    then it hit me again pow!!

    A fog just seemed to settle
    over everything then, there it was
    Pow it hit again!!

    Is it going to get better or go away even?
    Life seems as if it's just passing by so fast
    that there is nothing to slow it down.

    Like you keep missing the ride
    to that destination you so yearn for
    empitness keeps following and
    dogging your steps
    how does one get rid of it?

    Holding your hand was comforting
    knowing you were not alone in that place
    surrounded by love and familar things
    Mother Mother I love you even though
    life has played such cruel jokes on us both

    Sssh it's quiet rest can finally come
    Mom I didnt cry but was brave
    as you needed me to be
    that's why you can sleep now.
    But no one can forget you where you have
    made such an impact on us.
    We all cry together we will miss you.

    Paint, this is so sad as my own mom died in hospice. I can only tell you that as time goes by the sorrow fades just a bit but enough to be able to carry on. This is a beautiful tribute to your mom. They say crying is a release, I think not. I rather refrain from breaking down and to stop myself from thinking by doing something but that is me because I fear if I begin to cry I wont stop. I love your poem and I pray that you will be alright. This is so true what you wrote about time passing by and unable to stop it and I fear death now that shes gone nothing is the same. My patient told me so that when your mother passes that everything changes and it is so true. take care my friend and a ten plus from me. thank you again for placing her memory in my sight again.

    You are so sweet, this meant a lot coming from you since my heart is still so fresh with under tones of pain. I have begun to keep a diary of all the things that mom would have heard if she was still here. It kind of helps in it's own way.

    A beautiful sentiment and ode to a loved one you hold dear....its so true that at times it all seems normal and for a split second you forget and run home with news....and then you stop cold and realize she's no longer there....You have my sympathy and total respect....it does get better...but it never gets old...great write....Cher
