Finally, Less Stress

Now that I am home for a day or two,

Able to relax like normal people do.

Yesterday my phone was ringing off the hook,

Too afraid to answer and didn\'t want to look.

My Mom had tried to phone 3 times maybe more,

I didn\'t want to go there like I had done before.

She is so upset over how it all went down,

Yet my siblings  still don\'t want to be around.

I had texted each of them so that they would know,

One reply is what I got so it goes to show.

Just how alone I am going through this ordeal,

No one has an answer about the way I feel.

Guilty yes I am for leaving her like that.

When I text my sibling they don\'t want to chat.

So alone am I during this battle that I fight,

At the end of the tunnel there will be a light.

Finally I\'m at Peace and that\'s where I need to be,

Solace deep inside and Serenity inside of me.

I\'m not feeling guilty knowing that I did good.

I just wish my Mom had really understood.

The stress that I was under and anxiety,

All the things everyone else truly could see.

We both should find someone like a counselor,

Helping me and also really helping her.

She doesn\'t like people coming to her house,

As her P.O.A. I feel like quite the louse.

They want to downsize and move her from the home,

Where we all grew up and the places that we roam.

\"That is not an option!\" quoting what Mom had said,

The only way she would leave is if she would be dead.

All my Father\'s files she wanted to go through,

Although there a week she never wanted to.

Even her clothes that she wants to give away,

They\'re sill in that closet yet to this very day.

Her mind is going fast and it\'s oxygen she needs,

Oxygen that she needs just to do her daily deeds.

When she is sitting she does not have it at all,

If she does not have it very easy she could fall.

Brain cells she is losing and probably by the score,

I Pray to God that there was something I could do more.

I Love my Mother very much, no matter what others say,

Loving her up to the End, until one of us Pass away!

 

Love to All... <3
