Letter to Mum and Dad.

 

Dear Mum, Dear Dad, you're gone from my life.

I remember you now as a good husband and wife.

Dad, I saw you lay there. Lifeless, quite still.

The shocks that they gave you, zapped at my will.

When I touched you, your body, still warm, lips blue.

A far cry from the father, the man I once knew.

Your cheeks in contrast, stood out, quite bold.

Your hand I touched. That memory I hold.

Mum, I never saw you, when you passed away.

You were alone in your bed, so it's for you that I pray.

I remember you most, for the love that you gave me.

Always caring, never judging, I wished I could save thee.

Now that you're gone, I don't feel alone.

You're the best parents in life, this child could have known.

So it's with you in memory, my life has begun.

I remain as always, your ever loving son.
