Dear Mommy - Our Hardest Days

DEAR MOMMIE – OUR HARDEST DAYS
 
Dear Mommy’, 
I thought my hardest days were, when I got in trouble and then you knew. 
I thought my hardest days were struggling in school, but then you saw me thru.
I thought our hardest days were, when You fell ill and we felt it too. 

I know it’s our hardest days If we ever have to lose you.

I thought your hardest days, were when you couldn’t give us what you wanted too.
I know the hardest part is, that you can’t get up and do what you want to do.
Mommy’ I know where ever you went you took us, 
And I know now where ever we go, we will take you. 

I know it’s our hardest days if we ever have to lose you.

Mommy’, now that you are gone, 
I am still working on our poem.
WE WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU HERE ON EARTH.

Mom, you have prepared us for our days of the past
Ma, you have prepared us for our days of the present,
And Mommy’ you have, and you will continue,
to prepare us for our days of the future.

I know it’s our hardest days, because we had to lose you.

Mommy’ we will always love you forever and ever.
Your loving daughter’s, Ethel and Cheryl, and your 
Loving grandson Chris.

I am so very sorry for your loss. You have written a beautiful poem for her. I hope that posting your poem here gives you some relief. It must be scary too, to post it for so many strangers to read it. Welcome to PoetrySoup :)
