• I sit beside you, Mom
    On deaths doorstep you lay
    I set my head upon your wrist
    As I bow my head to pray

    The world to me shut off
    The silence here is thick
    Alone just you and I
    And your watchs rhythmic tick

    I block out all my pain
    And loss Im sure to feel
    I concentrate now deeply
    On the tick your watch reveals

    I sit here now for days
    And hear the rhythmic sound
    I contemplate you being gone
    The thought now seems profound

    The time for you is near
    To enter Heavens Gate
    ll stay here by your side
    Until your journey is complete

    Its months now since youve passed
    My wounds are healing slow
    I want so much to hear your voice
    To see your smiles glow

    I lay my head upon my wrist
    When my feelings are too strong
    I hear your watchs rhythmic tick
    And know youre never gone
