Mum

If I think about her dying I end up in floods of tears How would I ever cope For the rest of my earthly years She's just one single person Yet she's helped me through so much She has always been beside me With her soft and gentle touch Now I watch her body aching The pain she tries to hide I know she's getting older Time isn't on her side I hope I will be ready When I have to say goodbye But even if I am, I know I'll still break down and cry.
