It’s killing me to see her suffer
Another Christmas here again
Pain shooting though my veins
Knowing that this maybe the last one again
It hurts to see her pride
When asked how are you
She smiles and nods and says
I’m fine
She’s been in and out of this for 8 years
She’s been through so many tears
She faces her fears every day she wakes up
She’s so strong
She taught me so much
I’ve had to grow up so fast
I’ve had to make sacrifices just to see her smile
I’m sorry for not being around enough
I’m sorry for not helping out enough
I’m sorry for not always saying I love you
I’m sorry for the stress I have brought
I’m sorry for all the tears I have fraught
A cry comes out of the bedroom
She’s in so much pain she can’t get out of bed again
I see her wince when she gets out of the chair
I cry out, how it’s not fair
But no one seems to hear
My tears are faded
I’ve seen her suffer for so long
I don’t know how much longer I can be strong
How long will you put her through this
Father please
I love my mom
But I want you to take her
She’s suffered far to long
I need her here healthy
Or I need her to be gone
A heavy weight on my families heart
But if your take her lord she will no longer suffer
She’ll be with you
She’ll be safe away from the pain
Very heartfelt, I can idenitfy with this, it made me cry. Lydia
