Mommie

I
never
thought about
if she missed me
But now she is gone
I miss her every day
Too late I learned the lesson
enjoy each moment as it comes
because the next may be your last one
and once it is gone you cannot get it back

She has been gone for many years now. My mom, dad and 9 brothers and sisters have crossed the veil.

Jerry, it’s so true to say we should enjoy every moment of each day, one never knows what’s waiting to happen. I miss my mom too. Pal Belle

I think the saying is true, that you don't know what you've got til it's gone.
