Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'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

Emile Pinet April 3, 2017 at 11:53 AM 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.
