Your Birthday Without You

Happy Birthday Mama, 
I so wish that you were here.
I booked the day off work
just like I do each year.

I didn't know at the time
that you would pass away
before we got a chance to celebrate
this very special day.

It hasn't even been two months.
I still reach for the phone.
I can't stop these tears that fall
and I feel so very alone.

Happy Birthday Mom
I really love you so.
You'll be on my mind the whole day through
I just wanted you to know.

Again, I've read your true blatant expression. Touches the reader gently and dramatically. I'm terribly sorry. Your Mum is missing you just as much. Tears put the candles out....
