You Left Me

You loved me
l loved you
You left me
I withdrew
~~~

I struggled
You were free
My life changed
Sad and empty
~~~

Time passed
I healed
Never the same 
My wounded heart sealed
~~~

You gave me life
I watched yours end
Forever in spirit now
My beautiful mum, my teacher, my friend!

~~~

Terry Flood Date: 12/14/2023 4:35:00 PM You are here, Deb, because your mum was here. Just as you are a part of her, she is a part of you. And through the generations this will remain true. In a thousand years, if a distant descendant of hers, and hence, yours, cures all cancers, stops a war or invents something incredible… that’s down to your mum, or you. You naturally miss your mum, but she’s right there… in you… in Your mirror… in your every thought. A wonderful heartfelt tribute. Login to Reply Terry Flood Date: 12/16/2023 9:15:00 AM Sssshhhhh….

My mum died a very long time ago but l do write alot of poems about her as writing about my love for her comes so easy as it is straight from my heart. She was a wonderful human…brave, kind, hardworking and funny. She had a cheeky nature and was mischievous like me!! We talked,laughed, sang, danced together and were very mischievous and silly! We were always together and our bond was mighty! I miss her soooo much! Thankyou sweet girl….Debx
