Coming Thru

I woke up with this thought
I must see my mother before this day is thru
I must make amends for all I put her thru
My mom is on her death bed
The end will be soon

I know I should have been kinder
I was at fault
Now I must make haste before it is too late
Must tell her how sorry I am

It's been a while since I'd seen her
Probably made her days dim
I have to tell her how much
I love and care for her

I will sit with her
I want her to realize that I am her loving son
Maybe she will forget about her worries and trials
I hope I can make her smile

I feel bad about that broken chair
I promised to fix it
It would have been a snap to fix
But I always just cared about myself
After today that chair will be fixed

I lie upon my bed tonight a changed man
My mother forgave me
She knows I love her
I was not the best son
I was the best she had
I was her only child

My mom asked me to do something for her
Never put myself first
To always think of others first

My mom is gone now
But I feel stronger and taller
To know that she never stopped loving me
That she always believed in me
She knew I would come thru
