Don't Worry, We're Okay!
Our Mother was a fighter, Our Mother was a soldier; Her battle got tougher, as she got older.
, But it didn't break her down, it made her bolder "You've got much strength and pride", That's what everyone told her.
We held our Mother's hand which felt much colder . and soaked up the time we had knowing we could no longer hold her.
We have to grow up quickly because this pain will never be over. So if you still have your Mother, then give her all your love; and never push yourself away when push comes to shove.
Corey & Pernitka
