Mother and Child Poem
Mother and Child Watching her weakened mom with eyes of fear Pain of a child to see her mother fade She won’t make it til the end of the year No stronger bond than mother and child here Hoping to take away her pain, she prayed Watching her weakened mom with eyes of fear The life in her eyes slowly disappears As nurses in blue come in to her aid She won’t make it til the end of the year To be left helpless is a pain that’s near Close to her beating heart, rosary stayed Watching her weakened mom with eyes of fear Painful life her mother has led is clear Time has arrived for her to be now laid She won’t make it til the end of the year Reading Quran, eyes blinded with each tear Blink: one, two, three - she’s gone - her bed is made Watching her weakened mom with eyes of fear She won’t make it til the end of the year
