Remembering Mom Poem by Athar Kash

The day you died I was out of town
Somebody phoned me about your Death
I rushed quickly and came to visit you
But when i came you were not alive
After you died I held you close to me
I knew it would be the last time I held you for the rest of my life
You were so sick, in so much pain
That is no life
I know you were afraid to die
I hope you have found comfort
Do you remember how I held your hand and lay my head on your shoulder
Even at that moment I couldn't imagine life without you
People talk about broken hearts in songs or movies
Until that moment I had never known a true broken heart
Over and over I thought 'How can I live without you? '
I watched you live, I watched you die
Every day I look up at the sky
I know you're waiting for me
I miss you mom
