I heard your voices my children.. and I felt your beating heart. The fragrance of your smiles, touched the very core of my being.. I ached to say.. Don't cry.. I will be right here.. But the weight of my organs failing, was more than I could bare. As you held my hand, and looked at me.. I remembered the days, when your eyes could not see. How I taught you to rise, and go forth with grace.. To conquer the world, and win every race. My lips could not speak, all the words left to say.. So into the shadows, I hungered to pray. Though weakened in pain, I fought with great might.. To tell you I Love You, and hug you so tight. All alone in the world, my children you'll be.. Remember your daddy, who you'll no longer see. I tried and I failed, to get up with care.. But an angel came softly, to take me from fear. Don't cry, my children, but remember my life.. Look at my pictures, and smile with delight. I will look down from heaven, and dry all your tears.. Now hold on to ...
