Mother's Watch


I sit beside you, Mom
On death�s doorstep you lay
I set my head upon your wrist
As I bow my head to pray

The world to me shut off
The silence here is thick
Alone just you and I
And your watch�s rhythmic tick

I block out all my pain
And loss I�m sure to feel
I concentrate now deeply
On the tick your watch reveals

I sit here now for days
And hear the rhythmic sound
I contemplate you being gone
The thought now seems profound

The time for you is near
To enter Heaven�s Gate
I�ll stay here by your side
Until your journey is complete

It�s months now since you�ve passed
My wounds are healing slow
I want so much to hear your voice
To see your smile�s glow

I lay my head upon my wrist
When my feelings are too strong
I hear your watch�s rhythmic tick
And know you�re never gone
