The Mother He Loved

Born and raised under her wings
Protection and care, has always been
Everything his mother said he believed
Mother encouraged him, she was often pleased
A few times, he would get himself into a jam
She would always solve it, lend him a hand
As he grew older, he had a successful career
Living across the country, he wasn't so near
One day he received a call, it was from his Aunt
He was told to come back home, she began to rant
She told him that his mother is hospitalized and she's very sick
He took the next flight out, losing his job was a risk
When he arrived, he couldn't believe what he saw
Wires and tubes throughout, he kneeled onto the floor
He took her limp hand, looked at her and began to prey
He made a promise that he'll never leave her side, until her final day
Sadly, there wasn't much more the doctors could do
The cause of death was being allergic to Honey Roasted Cashews

The ones he sent her as a gift on Christmas Day
He was the cause of her passing away

Sometimes that's the way the cookie (or in this case the cashew) crumbles.
