Gone Poem by Carl Roussell

Gone

Rating: 5.0


Mom won't want to go
Through that again. So
She will have her voice,
And this is her choice,
To silence the noise.

'No heroic
Efforts for me.
Let me move on.
This is my choice.'

And today
Life in you
Slipped away.

Last Rites,
Last breath.

Gone.

This one nearly made me cry! Carl, I am so sorry for your loss. But a well-penned poem was born, as a result. Hope you will cherish memories of your mother for years to come!

So beautifully written on life and death of your beloved mother. We all know what is in the hearts of our mother. We all know her thoughts and desires. We all know when it is that time to say goodbye. Sad but so lovingly written.
