a mother's plea (for dying daughter)

Tears fall silently,
Grief's heavy shroud.
Loss whispers coldly,
Darkness crowds.

Heartache's bitter grip,
Pain's sharp sting.
Empty spaces within,
Sorrow's offering.

Yet through the ache,
Love's strength endures.
In every tear,
Our bond secures.

Please, stay strong.
Hold on, love.
Fight, my child.
Life awaits you.

Brighter days ahead,
Don't leave me.
Your laughter, needed.
Stay with us.

We need you.
You're my heart.
Brave, beautiful soul,
Keep fighting, darling.

Hope remains.
We're here,
Always together.
My love,
Endures.
