Mom's Last Call Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Out of town, stopping a moment to call and talk to her Mom.
Sharing a little of what has been going on before hanging up, 'saying I love you and will be home in the morning'.
Mom listening, talking and then saying goodbye.
Daughter, not knowing as she hung up the phone, that this would be the last time she would ever hear her mother's voice again on earth.
Back into the car, she drove on, wanting to get home to her Mom.
In Phoenix, a nurse walks into the room a minute later and finds Mom has died after talking to her daughter.
Perhaps thinking to save her from the pain and sadness of her death, wanting to spare them both a flood of tears and emotional stress.
Her Mom died calmly and peacefully, leaving this great gift to her daughter.
This is caring beyond realms of motherhood, giving an eternal love to carry through all the sadness, emptiness and pain.
A mother's final gift for her daughter, although she may not have realized it yet.
