Pretty woman
I hold her hand in mine
Her eyes tender and kind
Faded hazel they stare
Forgetting why I’m there
Each day blessed I am
This gift of time unplanned
I want for just her smile
Wishing for what’s denied
Her stories although told
Retelling gives her joy
Sometimes she remembers
Calling me her son
Quietly she regales
Stunning woman so brave
Cowardice the man went
Escaped what she cannot
Inside should she reveal
Memories vivid, real
Now I lay you to sleep
With love, she would repeat
In her arms, she’d hold me
Forever beholden
For the love, she bestowed
I will take on the world
Silent tears fill my eyes
This raging war in her mind
Dad you left her behind
She’s running out of time
This dementia
She’s absentia
Pretty woman
Time limited
Her mind filtered
God’s reckoning
Love delivered
She is my Sun
Always my Mom.
very cooll! (:

Such beautiful poem! It's heartwarming and a bit depressing at the same time. Heartwarming because the poem clearly describes a son's love for his mother. Depressing because her time is running out and she's suffering. Your poem is full of emotions and I'm deeply touched whrn I read it. Thanks for the wonderful poem @mah7.
How freaking heartbreaking!!! I love it a lot. I had some ideas of how you were going make it dramatic and you didnt disappoint at all. Familial love is great and a dash of tragedy makes it perfect. Thanks for sharing.
