Final Whisper

Dedicated to my Mother...

Final Whisper

Her life cycle

Now nears completion

An alpha and omega

First breath

To last murmur

And in-between

These 93 years

Of music and maternity

Kindness and humility

A steadfast support

Instilling honesty

Practicing compassion

Praising good manners

Explaining forgiveness

With personal panache

It’s very easy

To take for granted

All gifts a mother brings

But on reflection

How selflessly she gave

This closing moment

With frail hand in mine

I lean closer in to hear

Au revoir my son

Upon her final whisper

Your mother has had a long life. During those years she has gained a wealth of knowledge and fine attributes. As children we don't tend to appreciate the full depth of what we have. It's not until we are about to lose it, until it's gone forever that what we are about to lose fully registers. Being there for your mum at the end, will mean everything to her. As a mother I know that. Heartfelt words, a touching tribute. So sorry for what you are going through Phill. Take good care of you.

A well and beautifully written poem.

[Erudite]

Quite the sweet poem. Stalwart role models tend to resonate with others more than they realize.

However, sweetness and sadness do not make a great poem. This work is pleasant, but not much more than that.

[Paul Shannon]

Emotional and wonderfully structured.

Your poem is very beautiful and emotional as well. You wrote everything what one could write about his loving and caring mother. Your mother must have been proud of you.

Death, in whatever fashion, is an unfortunate part of life
It sounds as though your mother lived a meaningful life which makes her loss even more difficult
sad days that even with time, don't seem to go completely away

Each every word is beautiful and touching, Phill.
It's everything a son could mention to and for such a darling mother. She'll hear her those words across sweet space, promise you.
