i lost my mother very unexpected she was the glue that held the family together

she was the one person who stood by me when i needed her

when she went it was like losing my heart i still feel the pain and loss i hope this poem

will help [ where i come from the the south wales valley we call our mother MAM]

Where are you mam where did you go where are you mam I miss you so. Where are you mam I miss you so much where are you mam I miss your soft touch. Where are you mam you went far to quick where are you mam I did not know you were sick. Where are you mam I am in hurt and in pain where are you mam when will I see you again where are you mam I want to send you my love I hope you are at rest with god up above. where are you mam IM in so much pain I will always be lonely until we meet again.

a poignant poem, Paul! Even now some 20 years since my mother's passing I wonder, "Where are you mom," especially in times of pain. I think when we lose our mom's, there's a huge hole in our hearts. Sending you compassion and an e-hug, Sara
