'free'

The tears flow freely at times I know they will not bring you back And my heart might ache like It’s in pieces today But it will never compare to the pain You had to endure I miss you every second And I know you are looking down on me Smiling; because where you are We all long to be I miss our chats I miss you just being here Your presence in my life You did so much You cared so much You loved so much It was an honour to have you as my mom Thank you for the blessing you have been Thank you for the example you've been You are the biggest part of me And so you will remain I do not question God's work I thank Him for His grace I love you mom Safe in His arms

Ek is jammer, Wilma. Baie goed geskrywing. Onse moeder - lewe or nie - is mooi belangrik en kan nooit verander nie. U sal U moder weer sien in die Hemel met Jesus. Shalom, shalom en n' sewe.

I believe that a mother/daughter bond has no match in the human equation. The love that you hold for your mother is remarkable and so self evident in this poem. You recall all the magic that surrounded your youth and recognize that your mother was the source and inspiration for that magic. Emile.
