My mother has died,
She helped so many,
What few favors she asked,
I wished to aid her,
But I was caught,
In my wants and selfish thoughts,
I know I cheated,
I left her feeling depleted,
I wanted to help,
All the while,
She did not let out a yelp,
She did many tasks,
Then I wonder,
Why she did not ask?
For a helping hand,
To make her stand,
She could barely breath,
As if something choked,
The pain she could not sheathed,
Why didn't I learn her worth?
Oh, I am so sorry mother earth.
