mom



the hand that gave me love.for everything i need.
your heart that loved in me ,faith and purity.
the voice that speaks truth decrees.
but i,m still hear.
as i watch you weep.
i watch you sleep .
hoping you sleep in peace.

cring from a mother's eyes.
watching her child die right before her eyes .
knowing she can't keep up with the fight .
have to say good-bye.

looking at the common cause of it all.
crying please help me from friends and foes.
seing the compassion  for all to see.
seeing love still grow .
watching her angel go.
