Mother
I've known this woman all my life,
in fact, you've known me longer.
After all, you were my Father's wife,
a bond cannot be stronger.
Since I was a little boy,
you always tried to inspire.
Nature and History to enjoy,
of these things, I never tire.
Now the years are passing by,
the lights begin to flicker.
As I write, I start to cry,
and hope the end comes quicker.
And when I see you cold and grey,
I'll know your pain has gone away.
