Poem written for mom

Role of Death


I look into your eyes but now I see no life,
Your face was dull and silent as your body deals with the strife.
The accident took your words, your soul, and your heart,
Leaving your mere shell of a body all broken apart.
Starting at your neck all the way to your feet,
Battered and bruised from the powerful collision of defeat.
Tubes were protruding from all over your body along with several beeping monitor screens,
IV’S , medication, and a full staff of nursing teams.
Your eyes finally lost their twinkle after four days and I began to lose hope,
The doctors tried to make you as comfortable as possible while your body tried to cope.
Unfortunately, despite the efforts, I lost you that morning to the man in the sky,
I guess HE decided it was your time to die.
I hope you are happy mom and I pray you will remember me,
Because you were my life and meant the world to me.
I hope to see you again one fine day,
Until then I must continue with my own life today.
