It was only 7 days ago
that my mother passed away,
She had a very short battle with cancer
and decided not to stay.
Fortunately before she left us
she had 2 months to wrap things up,
We saw that as a positive gift
not everyone has that luck.
Mum got her paperwork in order
and prepared Dad for single life,
She had always been the homemaker,
the working mother and good wife.
Our Mum was always known for her massive collection of owls,
From hundreds of ornaments, picture frames, to owl print kitchen towels.
Most have been donated to charities
as too much for Dad to dust,
But all the owl items sold
will create funding for cancer trust.
My Mum was always there for me
my hero and best friend,
She was brave to accept her life cut short
and was a fighter to the end.
I did not get to see my mother
during her last final days,
I respected she wanted no fussing, she always got her ways.
So I proudly remember my mother
for the amazing strong woman she was,
She’s now in a place filled with light and love
a star shining in the cosmos.
Love you mum, see you on the other side.
