| Watching my Mother | |
| By sallyj | ||||||

Written just after my father died, and I realised that I was all my Mother had left Watching my Mother as she brushes her hair I wonder, just how does she bear The awful pain of being alone After 53 years with another, grown To rely on him being always there. I wonder why she just doesn't tear Nails from her fingers, her head from her hair The pain from her eyes. Into turmoil I'm thrown Watching my Mother. My mind screams in anguish "Why couldn't you spare Her this dreadful despair" To a spirit who's deaf, my words he'll disown Blind to my anger. He'll gaze calmly down Watching me, trusting me, knowing I'm there Watching my Mother
