I Love You Ma'... Poem by Catherine Hendry

I Love You Ma'...



I’ve believed ALL my life my Mom was a SUPER HERO! And now as I sit here … it NAILS ME!

She is NOT impervious! She DOES have “flaws”! She IS NOT GOING TO LIVE FOREVER! !

WHY I am JUST NOW realizing this? … And at 44 (and a half) no less!
But what can I do? But be the best daughter I can be.. I owe MY EVERYTHING to my Mom! My entire life … my sanity, sobriety, lifes choices, WHO I AM! … EVERYTHING! !

There is NOTHING I wouldn’t do! Yet there is NOTHING I can do! It isn’t up to ME … It is all God’s will! YES! I am scared … the mere idea of living my life and NOT HAVING MY MOTHER IN IT … I WILL cease to exist!

My Mother is the 1 and ONLY reason, I am still here! Therefore, I cannot imagine being here without her!
I LOVE YOU Ma'!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My Mother@almost 75, went to the doctor at MY insistence and her WORDT fear was realized... They found SO MUCH affecting her health (she said that would happen! That if she'd ignored it, it would've been okay)
