Mom
Mom
By R.e. Taylor
Mom
I have missed you for so long
You left before I was grown
Before I had the chance to learn from you
To ask you the questions I needed to ask
I know that it was not your fault
You would have never left us on your own
I guess God needed you more than we did
But still I miss you and I still dream of you
I am here looking at all of the candles people have lit
For their friends or relatives
And I take a match a light one of my own just for you
The flame will not be a memorial for you
Mom, it is a light to show you the way back
Back to the son you nearly lost sixty years ago
And to the heart and mind where you have always lived
