Ma

You know that I would, if only I could

and I would fight God if I could

to put all your pain on my shoulders, instead

as the light faded from your eyes

maybe gradually, I'd never knew cos I was away

then I recognized you not anymore

Your pretty bones were gone

You struggle with time to became a stranger

except when you called me, how I loved that voice

and all my senses worked to recognize

I heard, I smelled, I saw, I felt, I touched

your love

for me

only me you'd let to come close
suddenly sensing your love was a privilege 

I am truly blessed to know and assured

that you love me from the very beginning till the very end
and I love you so... 

Ma.
