Dear Mom
Just yesterday, a special day it was-
fifteen September, twenty-twenty-one;
like every year, my tears welled up because,
I miss you and those years we had such fun.
Grandma of three- you cherished them so much-
my little ones who filled your life with joy.
With kisses, hugs- you left your special touch
of love upon two little girls- one boy.
If only you could see them now, full-grown-
as many years since then have flown away.
All married with dear families- their own;
how proud you'd be just looking down today.
Age fifty-five, you met dear God above-
while thirty-two was I that dreadful time.
Your grandchildren then lost the tender love
and care you gave to them, deep and sublime.
Now, fifty years it's been since when you passed;
this time, fifteen September- lets me know
this milestone leaves me even more aghast;
through all these years- I still do miss you so.
