This is the Last Mother\\\'s Day

LMTobin

*****
This is the last Mother’s Day 
I get to send flowers
I get to buy lunch
I get to bring chocolate
She is in bed
She is in pain
She is tired of waiting
And I’m not a tousled red-headed poet
I want the gentle good night
I’m too tired to rage against the light
I want to blow out the candle
I want the pain to stop
Until I remember
This will be the last Mother’s Day
I have a mother
Then I join hands with my poet friend
Fight, fight, fight
Please mom
Fight, fight, fight
I’m selfish
I’m sinful
I want my mom
No matter the cost
No wonder I was never the favorite

    My dear LM ..
    whereas your words took the wind out of my sails,

      your artistry, resoundingly cements
      your capacity, to utilise
      your suffering and cultivate
      something, conducive
      to a positive mindset
      while facing, bravely
      the very worst, life has to throw at us
      the fast approaching, loss
      of a beloved parent..
      an exemplary utilisation
      of your Poetic artistry
      and I appreciate your nod
      to that great poem
      by Dylan Thomas:
