It lay quietly inside her
Outside she laughed and shined.
Little did she know
She was running out of time.
Inside her the darkness grew
Her mind still unaware.
She coughed and thought
Her sick her body wouldn't dare.
Some time has passed
To long for the flu or cold
Now in front of her doctor
Her deadly news was told.
Always strong never frail
Now becoming her own shell.
Did all the meds she took help her
Or just take her to another hell.
In her last few days on earth
To all my mother was lost.
All the tears that flowed
Wasn't worth the cost.
A better place she's now in
Thats what some do say.
But I will forever feel her in me
Till the end of all my living days.
