"Mother May I..."

Mother may I take

this many,

I'm hoping that it

should be plenty.

To end the pain,

To end the sorrow,

I'm hoping that I

don't wake up

tomorrow.

Through all the years

and tears I've shed,

You will find me

lying on my bed.

And without a pulse,

You'll name dead.

Mother may I say

one last thing,

My friends and

family were my

everything.

So do not cry and do

not weep,

maybe one day you'll

see me in your sleep.
