Infinity Concerto

I reached out my hand to you,
But your hand was not there to meet mine,
I held out my heart to you,
But your heart was not there to recieve mine,
And then the doctors said you were dying.

I realised that a heart of darkness,
dies from the darkness it holds onto,
I saw you losing substance each day,
I watched you try to smile in the hospital bed,
you held strong in front of me,
but you knew you were dying.

You held your hand out to me,
And I was there to take hold of it,
You smiled and told me to be strong,
yet I knew behind the strength, you were crying.
You told me you would always love me,
you would be always at myside,
as a spirit guide.

I tried to be strong in front of you,
But your words, the truth of the matter at hand,
your strength made my heart well up with tears.
The doctors said to make each moment count -
that soon I would never have you in my life again,
only for the vespers of etched memories
forever in my mind, heart and soul.

Mother, you die but you live on in my heart,
Shaped in memories not clouded in cancer or pain,
Mother, I will always love you,
You gave life to me, and now I watch,
as the darkness eats you up draining your life away.

I will shed my tears, I will sing a million songs in my heart,
I will remember you at all times,
For you my mother gave me life and taught me all I know.
Death shall have no dominion, for my thoughts are clear
and memories of you shall forever be with me.

Infinitum....hear the drums roll
Infinity....see the angels call your name
Infinity Concerto...see your name in the book of life.
Heaven sent and heaven begotten.

For my mother, and those who's family members are sick and dying.
