Don’t Cry Sweet Mama Poem
Don’t cry sweet Mama, please don’t weep. Please try dear Mama, to get some sleep.
I know you’re sad, and it's because of me.
But don’t cry Mama, for now I am pain free.
I know you miss me, and I miss you too, No one could have loved me more than you.
I know of some dogs that run away to die,
But not me Mama, I looked you straight in the eye.
I didn’t want to leave you, but my body lost the fight.
And now my dearest Mama, you mourn me day and night.
You wished you could have given me a bit more time to live.
But Mama believes me, I had little left to give.
I am glad you took me on that day, there was no other choice.
I would have told you to “do it” – if I had a human voice.
Don’t feel guilty Mama, I know it broke your heart.
I was always going to leave you first, we knew it from the start.
But what a life you gave me, it really was the best.
Not many have a life like mine, for that I am truly blessed.
I hope one day I will see you again,
With a smile upon your face.
But for now I will snuggle up inside your heart,
My very favorite place.
