Mother: You brought me Life

Mother: You brought me lifeYou brought me joy …You brought me not out of Egypt …But, out of the womb with God’s perfume Mother, while you on Earth …Is your lovely perfume of love that, I seeIs what I feel in my heart …Is what, it was in your country that I was born Mother, I lived …for nine months in your country, firstI realized all your sacrificesYou done …You shown me love You’ve divided time …You took 1% & gave me 99%There’s no money to buy your timeYou left Earth too soon …… and, you going to leave me soon I believe …It was I, needing you more than HimI been jealous of Him …Taking you from my … Was it, really your time?As they say in the song in 1972 by James Croce“Time, in a Bottle”What is the 1st thing you do?I had to pause! Would you save it?Until, eternity passed away?Who would you spend it?How far would you go? How would you draw it first?Would you write it with your heart’s blood?Would you look up to God and make a bet?Would you taste time? If you did, how would it taste?Would you accommodate your mom?Would you fight, once again?Would you cradle her before she goes? Would you sit and cry with her?Would you tell her, you love her?Before, she goes how really sorry are you?This time, would you give her your heart as a gift Before she takes her last breath, a last kiss?Before, she begs you to forgive her …Because, no instructions she hadYou must know, she did her best It was in her heart none saw …Her very own instructions … it was loveThere was all the laws with loveTo make you a man or a woman Was the only best emotion she knewThat was love … You must know, it’s beenThrough love you live and are aliveIt’s through love you’ll reach your God Now, think if you can save time in a bottleWhat would you do?Hug your mom?If she’s dying, you beg God for a chance … I leave you to think!I leave you with specific questions …Will you run with time …Would you grab your mom… and give her a huge hug… will you tell her before her light ends… mom, I love you today and always If you leave me and go to heaven …It is now, your new place and your homeYou’ll always in my heart, momI was in your heart first … Just …Say …I love you … momMy most precious mom Until, we meet again …You, were the best momI love you mom … I love you momI always will … Minerva A.
