I saw her lying peacefully,
with a smile upon her lips,
a lady aged thus gracefully ,
in her eternal bliss...
The times she used to feed me,till my belly could burst
with the worlds most delectable dishes ,
I recount at that unbelievable moment,
when I see her lying there with a smile
I once held her tender finger with my own toddler ones,
and as I grew up,she tried to never let go...
but my hands grew slippery as days passed by
and all she could do was let out a dejected sigh
All she ever did was to put a smile upon my face,
the love she showered on me was nothing less than Gods own grace
but I failed to see the caress she bestowed upon me
in turn I failed to show mine,which i hid in my subconscious
As I wiped her tired arms clean with a towel,
and recited an episode from her favourite serial,
her sad eyes pierced my heart
cause we both knew that time was slipping away
For cancer had taken its toll,
and all that was left was strength from her soul
but nothing had yet deterred the tiny hope in me
that tomorrow would be a better day
Yet not once I revealed by words, how much she meant to me
until this moment as I watch her lie peacefully,
with an eternal smile on her beautiful yet lifeless countenance
And my heart yearns for just one more day
to grab her tender finger and never let go...
