I experienced new meaning to that word called shock

How that womb through which I was first brought into life

has now been rendered so void having gone under the knife

While doctors and medicine had been one form of plight

living with cancer had imposed its own fright

So when her inner will to live seemed to be giving up the fight

My world around me began to look very bleight

What words and what feelings can overcome

that moment of emptiness standing under the sun

How naked and shallow does all reality take

when your meaning for life gives you nothing but ache

What reflections would weigh, when my tears started

other than my mother before me, my mother now departed

A soul has been released from our world below

no longer to bring me her smile with her loving hello

I am so sorry for your loss. I just recently lost my Granny to cancer and it was devastating. Your poem is really good and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing.

Very touching indeed. No one else can take the place of a mother. We all go through this painful experience, at one time or another. All loved ones depart, but leave behind the beautiful memories to be cherished and shared.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
