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 7/11/2021
