As you sleep thoughts fill my head,
This sickness came upon you so fast,
My memories return to the recent past.

So strong you have been over the years,
I am trying so hard to hold back my tears,
As a young woman you lost your first love,
Now he is my guardian angel up above.

You carried on though you hurt so much,
But finally gave in to another ones touch,
This love you found has lasted so long,
But I can feel God reaching from his throne.

I pray you will quietly go to sleep,
Not to suffer nor to see me weep,
To give you up will break my heart,
But I will know I have done my part.

No one can ever take your place....
My precious Mother,the Amazing Grace....

Watching Over You

Topic: FamilyPoems

Another day and night beside your bed,
As you sleep thoughts fill my head,
This sickness came upon you so fast,
My memories return to the recent past.

So strong you have been over the years,
I am trying so hard to hold back my tears,
As a young woman you lost your first love,
Now he is my guardian angel up above.

You carried on though you hurt so much,
But finally gave in to another ones touch,
This love you found has lasted so long,
But I can feel God reaching from his throne.

I pray you will quietly go to sleep,
Not to suffer nor to see me weep,
To give you up will break my heart,
But I will know I have done my part.

No one can ever take your place....
My precious Mother,the Amazing Grace....

God bless you, Annie. This poem is so beautifully sad. I am so sorry about your dear mother. Don't be afraid to let the tears come. I just said a little prayer for you. Hugs from me. Dot

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
