It's Not Fair

I miss you Mamma I miss the days when you were well And not so tired Mamma You’d make my sandwiches and laugh And see me off to school And life was as it should It makes me sad to see you cry And see you in such pain At night I worry you won’t get better I didn’t like it when you said God might be calling on you To help Him up in heaven It just wouldn’t be right When I need you here It just wouldn’t be fair Mamma And I’m going to tell Him just that Tonight in my prayers Mamma Submitted on October 10, 2018 for contest ANY NEW FREE VERSE sponsored by LU LOO - RANKED 3RD

I miss my mama! This poem made me think of her. Thank you for that. She died young. If only I could hold her once again. Read my poem " If She had lived" if you get a chance

And Line, it is so sad to me that life is so unfair to some mothers and their children.

Thank you so much, Mike. When I was 9, I saw my only-child cousin lose her mother. It still haunts me.
