I'Ll Miss You Mum

My faith decrees that I must fill the void you left
 with relief that you no longer suffer pain,
But this fails to mend my heart, which is bereft,
 so, selfishly I long to have you back again,
I'll miss that gentle smile you always had for me,
 the words of wisdom,that helped me carry on,
Those silly conversations,when we would come to tea,
  I'll miss you mum, forever, now your gone,
Each memory in my head and in my broken heart,
 bring floods of tears, I fear might never end
It's more than I can bear, that we've been torn apart,
 I'll miss you mummy, you were my best friend.
