The Accident

By TwoCrowsLaughing

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

OvercastClouds shadow the tragedyMother's milkThat brought forth the childCould not save herselfCold and brokenPassersbyDid not care to hear her criesHusbands warmth could not containThe life that slipped awayShe thought of youWith her last breathThis mother to the sonHer love goes on ForevermoreDeath never breaks the bond.My husbands mother was killed in a car crash in '96 in northern Canada. He was adopted after being taken from her at the age of 9 yrs. and didn't get to see her or talk to her much. He told me the story of her death and he asked me if I thought she thought of him before she died. It sounds crazy, but I think his mother helped me write this, one cold day last December.
