Gone But Never

She told me I was special And I had a lot to give, I would touch on people's feelings Share a better way to live, To make the best, a happy life Become a mother and a wife, That God, in time, would take us all We have to wait until we're called, And then she calmly told me why To be prepared for her to die, She named me Faith, in all belief I was her strength and her relief, She said to me, 'you'll be all right' 'It's time we both give up the fight', I smelled her hair and kissed her lips I squeezed her hand, her fingertips, A deep embrace to show I cared To lose my mom, I was so scared, My eyes filled up with warm, wet tears Her last breath gone came my worst fears, Mom, I will love you, always, forever In my life, you're Gone...but Never
