"Emergency"

Edward Charles McDevitt

I received a call because an emergency arose,

My mother somehow got a bloody nose!

We had taken her to the emergency room,

Not knowing if urgent or some sudden doom.

Her nose bled badly and needed someone near,

So I packed my bags and at her house, I'm here.

She got me out of bed a little after four,

Called the ambulance and took her out the door.

Bleeding nose again, this time so severe,

Emotionally, I tried to hold my tear.

I love my Mom so much it hurts,

Sometimes angry, it comes in spurts.

I just hope she is fine and everything okay,

We'll just have to take it as it comes each day.

You only get one Mother while we are here,

Keep them close, and always have them near.

Love until the end, whichever one comes first,

Without that kind of Love, I would just burst!

Loving her is easy, above any other,

That's all I have to say about my Dear Mother!

    My dear mum passed away a few years back now and I still miss her so so much. This is a super piece of writing and brings back memories of my own mum.

    Oh Edward this read moves me to the heart - a son's love for his mother is treasure beyond gold - beautifully written and hoping by now your Mom is recovered.
