Mother
Mother gives
Love unending
Giving a piece to her daughter
Having a piece for her son
There is a piece for husband
A piece for everyone
Friends and family
Take and take
Slowly she will disappear
Make no mistake
One day gone
When you wish she was here
Mother fading
Wearing thin
Thieves not ceasing
“Where have you been?”
There for others
Who is it that is there for her?
Mother faded
Six feet deep
Gone forever
Eternal sleep
Tears are flowing
“Why, why, why?”
“Why did mother have to die?”
Instead the question
We should have asked
“Why so selfish, why was she always last?”
Such a question, never spoken
Not in life, not in death, not in ever
Was love for mother just a token?
Father gives now Mother is gone
Feels the strain, all forlorn
Giving, giving
Piece by piece
Anger building
No release
Angry with mother
Angry with son
Anger for daughter
Furious with everyone
Yet the demand from others just grows and grows
When it will stop, nobody knows
Ever giving
Oh so sad
Followed suit
Dear old dad
Just like Mother
Give too much
When every last drop
From stone is took
Face the mirror
Take a look
Let us step back
Give in return
As humans can we ever learn?
Daughter grows, does not see
What does fate have in store?
She will give, give, give
While they take, take, take
Until she can give to them nevermore
