The killing of HOPE

Your face, i shall never forget it
the way you looked at me
your eyes pleading and begging....

Don't say it .. don't say it.

You tried to look strong
but i do know the look of fear
"go on" you said to me
tell me what i don't want to hear.

I quietly spoke
quickly tears swelled
our world was changing
each other we held.

As we cradled
all i could think
this is the thanks i give to the man
that has given me everything.

I'v broke his heart
filled it with sadness and sorrow
taken all hope from him
for a better tomorrow.

About this poem:
some say breaking sad news is one of the hardest things to do..well tonight i found out just how hard it is when i had to tell my dad how sick mum really is...she wouldn't tell him, so i had to, it was only right he knew... must admit what some people say, is indeed very true.

Hello, HOw very difficult for you, one can only admire your courage, to say nothing about the unselfish love of your Mother, and the sensitivity of your well penned lines, there is clearly much love in your immediate family, may this love shine brighter in the days to come, fond regards, Phil.teddybear

hi itchy,

from where I'm standing you gave your parents something they can carry with them into tomorrow, and beyond.

through your soft and gentle voice and presence they were spared having to bare seeing the excruciating pain in one another's eyes in the moment of the telling

wow. just wow to that kind of divine love and mercy given tonight, through you rose

A very sad moment Ms. Itchy but as an ambassador of news for your parents it must have relieved you just as much as your dad to get the message..

God Bless you my dear beautiful friend.

Thanks for the read..A very much of a lesson to bear..and learn from it. Our strength and our hopes couldn't have been expressed more than you have..

Take care my friend..teddybear

Sadly beautiful, I had the same with my mother, none of the others wanted to tell her, I thought she had the right to know, it was her life.

Thank you lady O
and everyone also for your kind comments.

my mum was given 3mths tonight,doc said maybe 6mths at the most.
its her 74th birthday next month, i normally give her a beautiful stylish summer dress.. style she says doesnt belong to an age but does to the woman that knows how to wear it..and my mumknew how to, reasons why she was always a very stylish lady..but how do i give her a dress to wear when the poor woman cant even get out of bed...so this year im caught as to what to give her and im afraid the gift of life is not within my hands and im afaid im babling now so do excuse me im more then alittle drunk so i bid you all a goodnight..i better shut up.

G'night
teddybear
