My Mother Died Today
My Mother Died TodayEven now as I sit here at this keyboard through teary eyes
My mind going from dimension to event that we've ventured
From earliest memories of my mother as a strong beautiful woman
My thoughts flash on the many things that I wish to have changed
To the many wondrous times of conversations with my mother
I sit here numb to the world at large yet calmly focused
I wish to share MY MOTHER with the world for she is BEAUTIFUL
My mother always had a kind word to say regardless of the situation
My mother was LOVE personified withstanding many trials and tribulations
I did not always appreciate my mother's love in times of life
Even then Our Father, Who Art In Heaven gave me comprehension
And hastened to change my heart
I have heard it said that when you are at death's door
That your life tends to flash before your very eyes
Well, I guess that to be true as I sit here even now with my life
Flashing as the very being DIED within me
I recall the time of speaking to my mother at 2:30 am
As I just wanted to talk to her, with nothing particular in mind
I called her, and she awoke to speak with me,
And within 20 minutes we were laughing and joking as though
It were only 2;30 in the afternoon
My Mother Just Died Today and I wanted to share her life with THE WORLD
I tribute who I am TODAY to MY MOTHER
My gift for POETRY/RHYMES/MUSIC ALL to her
When I had no idea of the gift that I possessed and just started
Naturally creating both rhymes and writing poetry, I had no idea
Until a time that my brother and my mother and I were on the phone
And my mother told us of how she used to recite poetry
From off the top of her head, it blew my mind and made me proud
These are just some thoughts that I wished to share about my mother
Even today, the day of her passing, Mom was just as OUTSTANDING
As ever…
Let me explain this,…you see my brother just got out of the military today
He had arrived home today about 11am this morning
My mother was her usual loving self as she was going to fix
Something for him to eat, but he declined
So, they sat talking for some time as my mother was on the couch
She told my brother that she did not know what was coming over her
She was getting dizzy, and then MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY TODAY
Through tear filled eyes I share my mother with the World…
MOM, I LOVE YOU
