Happy Mother's Day

Another mother's day is here And it makes me wish you were near I think about you all the time Days like today you're esp. on my mind There's so many things I want to tell you And I could really use your help too These are the days I miss you even more Than I ever did before But no matter how many days pass me by And knowing that you are flying high These are the kinda days nothing makes me feel any better at all Just wish that I could call What I would give to hear your voice If only that were a choice Just wanna wish you a Happy Mother's Day Even if there was nothing more I could say If only I could say that much to you Ant tell you that I love you too A single moment is all I need Feeling a little selfish and full of greed Because deep down I know you're in a better place But in my heart I hold this empty space As I whisper these things to the sky Cuz I just wasn’t ready to say goodbye Wishing these thoughts and feelings I didn’t have to bare Here I sit across the water I stare As I write these words I can't just say to you Cuz missing you is something I will always do Some people just don't have a clue But without you Mother's day just ain't the same And though I know there's no one to blame A part of me wishes I could Because God knows I would I try so hard not to let even a single tear fall I know it won't help at all But as I see everyone around me Can't help but wish like this it didn’t have to be And that here you could be too So I could spend this Mother's day with you But up above is where you are And another Mother's day without you here I must bare Just know that today like any other day I send both my thoughts and love your way Another poem I must write Another tear I must fight And all I really wanted to say Is Happy Mother's Day!!!

A very emotional poem and tribute to your mother Jennifer. I too miss my mum, funny the things you appreciate after they are gone. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards, Craig

Thank you for your kind words. I used to call my mom everyday when she was alive and even though she's been gone for almost 3 years I still miss her like crazy everyday!! Losing a mom is something I don't think you ever really get over!!! But thank you so much! Jenn
