Mum
If you were to die
I havent seen you
To say goodbye.
I cant see you now
As no one is allowed
Hospital tests
Youre under a cloud.
If you had not seen
Your doctor today
You would already have been
Taken away.
What are you feeling?
As I sit here and write
Are you in pain?
Can you see a bright light?
Please dont die
Youve too much to do
Youre needed and loved
Yes we all love you.
Shes in the best place
Is what Ive been told
But thats only words
When your world is on hold.
I love you Mum
Please, please dont go
Ill always look after you
This I promise you so.
Have a good rest now
Sleep but awake
Fight this pain
If only for your sake.
Take care Mum, I love you so much.

My name is Joanne Hale, known as Jo by friends and family (except for my Mum, who still calls me Joanne note the two syllables Jo and anne always got me two smacks whenever I was naughty as a child!). I was born in Bristol in May 1970 and have lived in and around there all my life.
I have been writing poetry for many years and regularly have it published in print. My poetry is published by Forward Press and in many other publications. So I'm now putting my poetry online. I publish my poetry on my Blog jo-hale-poetry at http://jo-hale-poetry.blogspot.com/ and on 8hop.com My poetry on 8hop.com. I also have information about my poetry at http://www.squidoo.com/jo-hale-poetry. I'm married to my husband Peter. I was born in May 1970 and am a Taurean star sign.
