I sat beside you, Mom On death’s doorstep you lay I set my head upon your wrist And bowed my head to pray The world to me shut off The silence here is thick Alone just you and I And your watch’s rhythmic tick I block out all my pain And loss I’m sure to feel I concentrate now deeply On the tick your watch reveals I sat with you for days And heard the rhythmic sound I contemplate you being gone The thought now seems profound The time for you was near To enter Heaven’s Gate I wanted to be there by your side Until your journey was complete It’s been a month now since you’ve passed My wounds are healing slow I want so much to hear your voice To see your smile’s glow I lay my head upon my wrist When my feelings are too strong I hear your watch’s rhythmic tick And know you’re never gone...
