As I sit here next to you I worry and I cry.
I can’t imagine what I’ll do if or when you die.
My home is empty there’s something missing.
I clench your hand that I’m lightly kissing.
The dialysis machine is quite disturbing.
To see you lay there your neck is curving.
Mommy don’t leave me, I still need you.
Mommy don’t leave me, I still love you.
I want you to see me graduate.
Please don’t tell me this is your fate.
Mommy why is your health depleting?
And why are you now slowly breathing?
I don’t care what their next steps will be.
I wish they could bring you back to me.
Your kidneys don’t work, your liver is scarred.
Your wounds are infecting and your talking is barred.
That tube in your throat can be traced to your lungs.
And millions of tubes are loosely hung.
Although I haven’t completely lost you,
It pains me a lot not to talk to you.
Mommy if I could I would be there with you.
But schoolwork and a job all keep me from you.
Mommy I miss you, mommy I care.
I would give anything just to be there.
The doctor has broken some bad news to me.
I am devastated, this cannot be.
I won’t give up hope, although I cry.
And I won’t give up faith; I’ll wipe my tears dry.
Mommy I love you, please never forget.
You, I will not, my conscience won’t let.
