Making memories with mum

I love my dear old mum
She has not been well lately
At 77 she's not getting any younger
She is getting weaker not stronger
The leukaemia treatment: the chemo
Has left her exhausted: breathless
She struggles to make it through the day
Determined to cook one meal a day
She does the very best she can...
Today we went out for a drive to Renmark
Just like we used to years ago
But even after a little while
She was breathless: puffing and panting
Then when we got home she had to rest
More than on other days
I can't help but worry that soon
She will leave us for good
Take that last breath...
And give up the ghost...
Then will I feel so lost...
Please pray for my mum
