In Loving Memory of My Mother

A lady I once knew With a constant smile So intriguing, ruling the world With a personality of perfection Missing is far too short And tears of pain are all I have to offer. A lady I knew was my companion I cannot come face to face The fear of all sensations Is choking my spirit The questions form and clutter my head Come back down for awhile You are so high Far too high for me to say The man who murders thrives The woman who cheats stays Yet the woman who captures A beautiful soul inside her body walls Gets buried beneath us all

So very sorry for your loss. A beautiful tribute to your mother. No, life is not fair. Perhaps some day we may know the reason. I can relate to this so well. Love, Shar

Our mothers are our best friends in the whole world, they nurse us, and protect us from harm, then as a beautiful rainbow fades, they are gone..our hearts grieve for them, I lost mine two years ago, and I still miss her so much. My blessings to you, Always, Christy
