In Loving Memory of My Mother

A lady I once knew
With a constant smile
So intriguing, ruling the world
With a personality of perfection

Missing is far too short
And tears of pain are all I have to offer.
A lady I knew was my companion
I cannot come face to face
The fear of all sensations
Is choking my spirit

The questions form and clutter my head
Come back down for awhile
You are so high
Far too high for me to say

The man who murders thrives
The woman who cheats stays
Yet the woman who captures 
A beautiful soul inside her body walls
Gets buried beneath us all

So very sorry for your loss. A beautiful tribute to your mother. No, life is not fair. Perhaps some day we may know the reason. I can relate to this so well. Love, Shar

Nice dedication to your mother. I agree, there are no easy answer for why things happen. I trust God will straighten them out in the end. Please accept my sympathy for your loss. May God grant you comfort. Thank you for sharing this poem with us and for your kind comments. Keep on writing. Karen
