Mary Taylor Poet Rhyme

Tears of Memories

It seems like it has been so long
Since I last held you in my arms,
Or saw your smiling face
After winning me over with your charms

Each day that goes by, since that tragic day
When my world stopped because you died
I have felt so lost and lonely
Without you, my son, by my side

Remembering all the things you did
Just to try and get a laugh
How you’d stand up for what was right
For yourself or on another's behalf

I think of all of the memories
That we shared of us over the years
Sometimes bringing a smile to my face
Other times it brings me to tears


These memories are all that I have left now
Of your life here as my son
I am grateful for each moment I had
being your mom was a lottery I had won

Memories of you fill my heart with love
Although at times it leaks
Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes
And roll right down my cheeks

Each tear is filled with such sorrow
for the years our family have lost
But I am eternally grateful that
Here on earth our paths had crossed


Losing you has shattered my heart
In a way that it will never mend
But I will live the best life I can without you
until I see you at the end
