Am I dying today?1
The neverending question.2
Watching, waiting, knowing Death will come, announced or unannouced. He prays each day for God to save his soul.3
He prays each day for God to take him home.4
The hint of death always overhead.5
But wait what's this?6
You find your mother dead.7
She lies so still.8
No answer to her name.9
How can this be?10
Your Moma, she is dead.11
Your friend, your strength to get you through the death that waits at home.12
Her chair is empty like your heart.13
Loneliness sets in.14
How will you cope?
Author notes
I found my mother dead last sunday. She had died in her sleep. My husband has Alzhiemer's, Parkinsons and prostate cancer. We were blessed to have her 82 years and independent until she decided to change addresses. She was my support and my rock. I miss her greatly.
