Ma Ma

  As I watch you my sweet Ma Ma sleeping in your bed,
so many old memories go flowing through my head.

 Of times when I was little and you were always there,
giving your love so tender as nothing could compare.

 It's so hard to see you so confused and so unaware,
of who I am or where you are it just seems so unfair.

 But I know the lord is with you and keeps you in his care,
far from pain and suffering his love for you is clear.

 So good night my sweet Ma Ma good night and sleep tight,
I'll be back again tomorrow to be right by your side.

very touching sentiment in my opinion a couple of your sentences were a bit wordy and detracted from the beauty of this poem Chrys
