Waiting for that day,
when Mommy shows her smile.
If only for a moment,
if only for a while.
Remembering my last memory,
of that time down by the lake.
Of every time she laughed at me,
and every breath she'd take.
I wish to relive those days,
and take away her pain.
Have Mommy's touch upon my face,
and take away this rain.
Waiting for that day,
when Mommy shows her smile.
If only for a moment,
if only for a while.
I want the sun to shine upon her face,
and smile at what I see.
As mommy lets go of this place,
and becomes cancer free.
In this grave, Mommy lays,
resting so sweet.
I'll never forget the life she gave,
Cuz' in me, her heart still beats.
Waiting for that day,
when Mommy shows her smile.
Just for this moment,
just for a while.
Crohn's Disease
My mom was diagnosed with the same in 2006 and she just passed away Thursday morning. I totally understand the pain and hurt, and I most definitely loved your poem.
