Goodbye Mother

Now you are gone forever, right on my birthday.
Your eyes that always cry every day to endure the pain have now closed tightly.
Your lips, which used to be open softly, asked me for help, your disobedient son has now closed tightly, unable to apologize.
Your once broad and patient heart has now frozen like eternal ice in the North Pole.
And now my regret for neglecting you during illness now seems useless. Although tears of regret flowed like floods, it was too late.
Now you are lying rigidly under the cold and damp ground.
But now I believe you are now smiling happily free from pain. Meet your husband who has gone before in the eternal realm.
Goodbye mother, I hope you are willing to forgive all my sins and mistakes so far to you.
Amen.

That's a touching poem. If it's personal, sorry for your loss.

@Babale I am sure you aren't a failure. And, your parents would be happy as long as you're living your best life possible.

@Babale if you lived with her and you and your brother took care of her, then you did not neglect her.

@hereandthere Maybe that's true, but somehow I still feel guilty for not being able to take full care of him while he was alive.
