Birth Pains

You gave me life, thrust me into this world of tumult
Into this race that is won by none
You fed me with a spoon, then taught me to walk and eventually to run
Before you knew it, I sprung wings and flew into the night
Still
I turned out all right, despite the snares that sometimes brought me down
I was caught up with me and didn’t see that you were almost gone
You grew old too soon and now your days are almost done
I find myself holding your hand beside the bed
Wondering
What thoughts fill your head…
Mother, can you hear me? Please don’t leave me just yet
I want to recall the days we hadn’t a care
We had mountains to climb and moments to spare
Laughed at the wind in our faces
Never realizing that life was so short
You didn’t tell me about this, is it something that you missed?
Is it something that you are prepared for?
You were there for my birth and now, I am here for yours
You agonized and ached to bring me here, without fear or remorse
And now
I feel your spirit slipping away as you face infinity’s doors
Yet, I long to hold you just one more day
And look into those eyes that mirror mine
But there just isn’t time…
Mother, can you feel me?
Do you know that I’m clutching your hand?
I can hardly stand how far away you already feel
I kneel at your side, you seem small and frail
And your cheeks have grown so pale
I want to be with you this last momentous hour, I pray for the strength
And long for the power to stay and watch you go
Your soul needs to leave
To places my mind can’t conceive
So, I let you slip away with a kiss to the lips and whisper
One last thank you-I love you
You will be sorely missed
No more time for small talk mom
There’s a new path that you must walk upon
I smile and wave farewell to you my staunchest supporter
My fondest friend, our bond will never end
As your hand grows cold, your brow unfurls
A tear slips from my eye
Your face becomes that of a far younger girl
I exhale
Then let go of you
And sigh
