A DESERVING MOM

Laura🌻

My escape to the Hills is on hold

So I have been told

I’ve been called in a different direction

 

MY DAD IS GONE

 

I’ve been called to console 

His lonely suffering mate

Who has been left all alone

 

MY MOM

 

She’s suffering from her loss

She deserves not to suffer

For the remainder of her days

 

She deserves to be happy

All she wants is a home cooked meal 

And tell her lifetime stories...75 years worth

 

She says they are for me to hear

Denying her I cannot bear!

    You are a good daughter, Laura! First parents take care of us, but there comes a day when that relationship is reversed.

            I’ll do my best Gold.
            She deserves whatever
            she wants during her
            remaining years here
            on earth! Her wish is
            that I’d be with her and
            her wish will be fulfilled!
