Too Late To Apologize

With these eyes I can see,
my fingers writing,
what my heart feels,
a message to my late mom.

My letter was written,
then left on my desk,
it was meant to be sent,
with kisses and love.

The stamp waited to be placed,
your envelope wasn't sealed,
that's the reason why,
to the mailbox I never raced.

Then came the day,
to bid a bye to the world,
it was like a candle,
that it blew away.

As days passed by,
I realized that there was something wrong,
now it was too late to apologize,
for the mistakes I made.

Someday I miss,
the burn of a love lost,
or maybe,
I didn't realize your true love.

I gave you every drop of tears I got,
because the best ,the best way,
for one day I dreamt,
perhaps I will never see you again.

Then I'll mail it to you mom,
signed,stamped and addressed,
to you in heaven above.

PEACE
