Why does it hurt mom?

By Lawrence

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

She stood there beside him as he laid in the bed.He looked up with tired eyes and tilted his head.'Mom' he said faintly. And she leaned down to hear.'Why does it hurt Mom? And why am I here?'With tears in her eyes she tried to explain,'Your body it's Broken that's why all the pain''But the doctor will fix me right? I'll be ok?'But before she can answer, doctors take her away.'It's time for some rest now, The doctor exclaims'And when you wake up, there will be no more pain.'The doctor was right. His pain all disappeared.But it wasn't because little junior was cured.See as junior lay resting, his sickness had won.Junior passed on, While his Mom lost her son.He would no longer play baseball, or run in the park.And the nightlight on his wall, from now on would be dark.By: Lawrence MacKenzie Written April 5th, 2001 © on Oct 18 2001 12:39 AM PST   18 • 1
