Rest In Peace Mom

my mom whom i loved died
she left this earth to depart to the other side
she left an impression of love upon me
i only hope to be as a good of person as she
her friends loved her so much
a shame she had to die and leave her love ones behind
if only i had a little more time
time to say i love you mom 
time to say i care about you mom
she was my best friend and my maternal figure
when she left i guess i died also 
a part of her son left with her that day
upon my knees i pray 
do not take my mother leave her good soul upon the earth 
she does more good and none of the hurt
to you mom i love you so and i am sad you had to go

There's an old cliché we hate to hear... "Time will heal everything" that is not necessarily true. Some pain is timeless until reunion is accomplished. I feel your pain. This is a well written entry and deserves the win.... Jake
