"a Year Later Moma"

It's been a year and I miss her so much.
I miss her face and I miss her touch.
My heart broke when she died.
Now I'm alone thats why I cry.
Our mom was all we ever had.
She was both our mom and dad.
I'll miss her with all my heart.
When she left it broke apart.

Yes i bet that's the truth of it, Teresa. That's the truth of it. But I think from your poems, she left a wonderful person here to carry on. Bet she's proud. God bless you-Robert

God bless you, Teresa. Although my mom has been gone a long time, I still miss her a lot. Considering the fact that she raised you by herself, she must have been a very important part of your life. This is a very touching, tender poem that clearly shows your great love for her! Love, Carolyn

I feel your pain. It is especially bad to lose someone near or on a special occasion. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara
