So nice to know
that Mom's in good hands
especially now
that her health is failing
Wish we could be there
but life is so busy
maybe at Christmas
or her birthday
Please keep her comfortable
sure, sedatives are fine
if that's what she needs
to help her
RELAX
Replace the broken hip
Remove the cancerous breasts
Take out the cataracts
Repair the blocked artery
Make it all new and
BETTER
Give her more medications
to fix the side-effects of her medications
Flood her with
RADIATION
and
CHEMO
if there's any chance
Feed her with a tube if she won't
EAT
Stick another down her nose if she won't
BREATHE
Make her heart pump if she won't
LIVE
Do EVERYTHING
you can
Don't let Mother
DIE.
