I walk into the room and see mummy sleeping
So peaceful as she’s lying there more beautiful than my eyes have ever seen.
Her hair as black as a stallion,
Her skin so soft and fair,
Her dress the color of jade.
Her pillow soft as sateen,
The blanket to her hips with her hands folded neatly.
The yellow roses by her side that say “We’ll miss you mummy; Love Bridgette and Daniel”
Then I look at grandma and ask “Why is everyone weeping”
She looks at me and says “Isn’t she pristine?
I couldn’t find her favorite medallion.
Do you like the way they did her hair?
Do you know she loved giving medical aid?
She always liked drinking the tea that was green.
She always did things so sweetly.
Did you know she was going to get a little toy spaniel?”
I look back at her and say “Grandma you have not answered me.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why is everyone weeping when mummy is just sleeping?”
“Your mummy is not sleeping my dear she went to live in heaven.”
“Your mummy is not waking up”
“Yes, she will giver her time I know she will. Just wait and see”.
I know that grandma must be joking even though she isn’t filled with glee.
“Mummy it’s time to wake up it’s time to start our routine.”
“Mummy wake up I have the locket you gave me for safekeeping.”
“Mummy please we have to get ready for bed it’s almost seven.”
“I need for you to put milk in my cup”
“You promised me , you promised it would always be us three.”
She never did wake up so now she lives in heaven.
