The months drew on
Stress came; was gone
Up and down: my mind broke
No matter if I slept; awoke
Underlying all that activity
Acknowledged; bitterly
Mum was growing weaker
Her time was coming; bleaker
Doing all I could physically do
Of dear mum; how I miss you!
I watched you falter
My heart was pained
For I knew; none could alter
Your end; soon ordained
You ate like a little bird
Growing thinner all the while
Your body weight; lost a third
Ah; in the end; you couldn't even smile
Each time I left you behind
Until that last day; your energy dipped
In hospital; at least i know
There was someone taking care of you
