For My Mum
(From her son Darren Kaye)
(Written By Christine Kaye)


The waiting game is over I see you lying there
Still a beautiful lady
Your face now without a care

I have watched you suffer
Your body wrecked with pain
Every hour of every day
My life will never be the same

But in my heart I knew that you had to let go
I hold so many memories of our treasured times together
And though you have gone you will live on in my mind, my soul, my heart forever
For you see! I am part of you and you are part of me
Your blood is my blood
That’s the way it will always be

The invisible bond that ties us will always make us one
In my mind, in my heart and in my soul
You never will be gone

The waiting game is over please don’t ask me how I feel
This leaden weight, this numbness will take its time to heal
The tears so near the surface wanting to break free
The pain and loss unbearable will always be with me

You will always walk the path I walk! I know you will be there
I’ll close my eyes and see you smile; I will smell the warmth or your skin and hair
I will listen for you calling and hear the words you say
Your hand upon my arm every hour of every day
I know that you are still around your presence ever near
The memories that tie and bind us will keep you ever here

You opened your eyes after 5 days to say….’Goodbye’

You smiled slightly, the best you could do.
I swore you heard me say ‘Wait for Me’
You looked into my eyes, smiled slightly and then you slipped away.
I Love You Mum: D
