Mother
As I gather my thoughts, I can feel something break,
a prolonging absence that makes my heart ache.
I have many fond memories of which I hold dear,
but there is nothing I can do, but wish you were still here.
Every time I would fall you were always right there,
you would pick me back up, with a breath of fresh air.
With the sound of your voice and your kind gentle touch,
you always made me feel special, Mom, I miss you so much.
You now dwell in my heart and live on in my mind,
in my hour of need, you’re still easy to find.
With patience and love you brought my life joy,
even though I grow old, I am still your little boy.
You were my light in the darkness, you shushed all my screams,
in a cold evil world, you brought peace to my dreams.
You made the sun shine even brighter and the sky a deeper blue,
I had the world’s best mother, all because of you.
