The darkness pulls me closer.
Inch by inch,
First a foot,
Then a waist,
All I see now is the darkness of death,
It slowly smothers me.
I reach into the loving light of life,
My hope flickers out.
Suddenly you grab hold of my trembling hand. Your touch,
As calming as a lullaby in the dead of night.
I clasp onto you,
My last sign of hope holding my hand. You pull me out of the darkness,
Out of death,
Back into the light,
Into life.
You are my saviour,
Giving me a second chance to live my life. Giving me the will to keep fighting for my life. You are my source of laughter,
You are my source of love,
You are my source of life,
You are my mum.
