The Loss Of Our Loved One

I remember the days I was happy like it was yesterday, Your smile is brighter than the sun every morning, Your soft soothing skin caressing my face as you wake me up, I remember it all. I miss the joy that filled my heart whenever I was around you, I miss the moments we used to laugh at silly jokes, I miss your unconditional love for us. You left a void in our hearts with your sudden departure, Without warning, you left us confused, For days we kept hoping that maybe you'd come back to us, Keeping your memories alive in our minds. Now it has been years and your memories are fading away, I'm guilty that I can't hold on to the happiness I used to have, If only I could see you one last time, And feel your soft touch one last time, To see your bright smile one last time, Your hearty laugh one last time, Nothing will make me happier than to find you beside me again. Your loss filled my heart with jealousy, Jealous of the happy people around me, Jealous that I'll never be happy again, I have had to carry this burden every day, I miss you, dear mother.
