Big Mama

I still remember when i first met her. Since then i wanted to go back; "I wish i could of known you better." When the news of your expected death arrived i was; shocked, hurt and surprised. You were so loveable, sweet and wise. I wish that i could of seen you again. To laugh with you, talk with you. To be with you before your life came to an end. I remember the day she thought you were gone. Left. Motherless was what she thought. She tried hard, but trapped within an ocean of tears, she was caught. You think it's hard to see your child hurt? Well, it was hard to see my mother cry. She thought you were gone, Yet then you really left. There was nothing i could do. You being gone was actually true? It was; is. My big mama died. I will always wish i could have seen you to say good-bye. I still see you, but only an image, a reflection. An Angel within the skies. A reflection within my mother's eyes. The day you left i was not there, but the earth cried. Many may ask why i miss you so much, when we were always so far apart. We were miles away, Now we're heavens away. But you never left my heart.
