In my darkest hour....

 In my darkest hour....

 

          (To my mother)

I was an ordinary girl from a small town,

Living a life with no regret and love all around.

Then suddenly life became a complete stress,

And everything that circled me was a complete mess,

I saw no progress and didn't know how to express.

In these darkest hours when I reached for a human hand ,

I received a tiny paw that helped me to stand.

As days went by and I turned very sick,

I was told that I would recover real quick.

And everything could be fixed by taking a risk.

A surgery was to be done which none could predict,

It shattered and filled me with darkness all around.

And in these darkest hours when I reached out for a comforting hand,

I received a tiny paw that helped me to stand.

Then finally the surgery date came near,

And I could no longer suppress my fears,

Things never changed and as time passed by, no one seemed to care,

I suffered quietly in my pain for years and years,

Hiding silently in my pillow all my tears,

And in these darkest years when I reached out for a human hand to touch,

But I received a tiny paw that helped me to stand.

Now time has finally come,

And I realise nothing more can be done,

As my body has turned weak ,cold and numb.

Even through my pain ,I had a happy and contented life,

And was ready to bid my last goodbyes before I close my eyes.

And in these darkest hours still my eyes searched for a hand to hold my hand,

But I was surprised to find that tiny paw still in my palms waiting for me to stand....
