EDITH

Have you ever had to pray for your mum , to die . When I held her in my arms I could hear her sigh . There is nothing left of her body , her mind went years ago . But to see this frail old lady , our tears will always flow . She's been a strength to others, , and brightend up there days . Her laughter so rewarding , there pain just goes away . Please help this poor old lady , and end her days in peace . Until we meet again , one day . Our love will never cease .
