"mother"

God took her when I needed her most.,
All I have now is a gold box of her ashes and sometimes , her ghost......

 The reason behind this, I will never know,
Its just so hard for me to let go.........

 They say the pain will eventually pass,
Its hard to forget all the "girl talks" and laughs....

 What I miss the most , since shes not here,
is the way she held me and said...."its okay now, Moms here".........

 You never outgrow the need for your mom,
especially on the days when everything goes wrong........

 I know there is something in my life now, that I lack,
My Mom is in heaven and I want her back.........

 Since I know its not possible for this to come true,
what I have to say now , is Mom I miss you.........

 I dont know when I'm going, leave that up to fate,
but I hope that when I get there........
My Mom's at the gate..........

A special commemoration of your mother. Your mother was a lady I can tell by the way that you remember her. I know that it is hard. I lost my mother ll years ago and I still miss her and I think of her often. Keep writing. Sara
