Remembered Words

Mom always said to me,
When feeling sad and bad come to me,
Now that she is gone,
Sweet memories shared, I have nowhere to fawn,
And yawn.
Remembering her little hugs,
And the tea we sometimes sipped together on the rug.
I know that history,
Will not repeat any of her stories,
The will of breathing just,
Comes from her remembrance,
The beating of the heart,
Just comes from her dominance.
I know that if I lie in defeat,
She will never forgive me even in her deep sleep,
But going on without her,
I feel like a bear without its fur.
The sun will burn,
And the stars will turn,
But I will still remember her as a brave hunter,
The trees will sway,
And the clocks will still run the right way,
The world will forget,
And some will forgive.
But I will remember you always,
And that eternity will be in many ways.
