Private Pain

Today, I remember
Today, I suffer privately
I go through this pain of loss one year ago, today
Losing her to the enemy of death
Gone from me, from us, never to be seen again

Today, I remember
Today, I suffer
The loss of my dearest and sweet mom
Her voice, our talks, her comforting words, her smile

Today, I remember
Today, I suffer
Love you endlessly.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Thank you so much Beata, for your encouraging comments. It has been 4 years now since she's gone, but thank God she's lost "...but have everlasting life..." Biggest comfort of all.....

It's a nice piece of expressing the natural pain we go through when someone leaves to eternity. It's a serious pain and only the person who is affected knows it. Keep it up Karen . You are good .
