None of us are prepared for loss,
Should I have known when she
smiled at me, promising
everything is going to be okay,
Should I have known,
this is our last embrace?
I am oceans away,
Whispering to her in my prayers
"I am right here as I promised,
It's time to wake up ma,
Breathe, please"
I hope she's listening
Pray for her good health, will you?
None of us are prepared.
