I held her hand as she lay comatose in a care facility. I went home and wrote this poem. I came back the next day to see her one last time and I missed her death by 10 minutes. My mother died on 1/1/2015

My Mother

You carried me through labor
You endured my birth

You gave me life
You brought me to this earth

From your bosom
You gave me milk

You held me with hands
That felt like silk

You dressed me, you fed me
You combed my hair

Through the tantrums and crying
You were always there

Throughout the world there is no other

There is no one like MY MOTHER
