UNTIL THE END

Dedicated to my beautiful mother with love

When I shed a tear, you wiped it away.
When I stumbled, you showed me the way.
Until the end came, you were there for me.
Still I was left floundering, how could this be?

Until the Angels came for you, I had been blessed.
Now I ask myself, was I being put to a test?
You were not just my mother, but my best friend,
had nurtured and loved me to the very end.

At first I was angry and refused to see,
that God had his reasons for taking you from me.
My heart was bleeding, and I felt dead within.
“No”, I screamed, “I want her back again!”

Until the end I held you tight,
tried convincing myself I would be alright.
God only knows that I still miss her so,
and for the reason she was meant to go.

Mom, our hearts will go on like I always vowed,
and I promise to do all it takes to make you proud.
I will maintain the faith, though my heart will not mend,
remembering that you were there for me until the end.

I Love you, Mom, and I always will!
