In Memory of My Mum

Original version january 2015 Though I fear she's gone forever and her smile I cannot see I still have so many moments when I feel her here with me she seems to show me things are just fine and we'll meet again someday and now i know, though I cant see her it doesn't mean she's gone away Our memories I will keep forever and even though we are apart She may reside among the angels but she lives within my heart. Revised Version March 2015 It once seemed she had gone forever her smile I could no longer see Her voice no longer spoke her blessings Her arms had ceased to comfort me At times when I was feeling so low when sadness loomed so endlessly I'd pray for just one final moment It's her I'd seek, yet could not see There are still so many moments when I fear what is unknown And if I could walk right up to heaven I'd go right now and bring her home but we can't change the way things happen Cannot choose the way things are We can only hope and pray our loved ones Shine like diamonds 'midst the stars Our memories are mine forever and even now, so far apart while she's dancing with the angels she still sings within my heart. Until we meet again... I love you mum ***
