Mom

MOM

I think of you always
your memory will not fade
I never left your side that night
and never let go of your hand
You were fighting so hard
tears flowing from your eyes
the pain was to much to bear
I told you not to worry I said I would be okay
I kissed you cheek and you closed your eyes
Then the pain was finally gone away


A poem for my mom who was taken to soon

A beautiful trubite to your Mom Michelle. I was at my Moms side too and it was the hardest thing ever to do in my life. I am with you at heart for we shared the same thing. God bless you. Anne
