To Mum

 

I really do love you mum

Can’t believe you passed away

I never got the proper chance

To tell you things I wanted to say.

 

You were so open minded,

You really were the best,

So liberated and young in mind

A cut above the rest.

 

No mum to share my problems with,

You knew, I didn’t have to speak,

With you no longer around

I feel my future is so bleak.

 

I long so much to hear your voice,

You laughter, you company.

I can’t imagine a future happy day

Without you I’m so grumpy.

 

I’m glad your name is my second

And I think I have some of your ways,

At least some of you lives through me

Part of you is here to stay.

 

Any laughter I’ve had since you died

Is mostly just temporary,

As my joy always turns to tears

Because I want you here with me.

 

I find it hard to let you go

And wish I could see you again

Maybe when it’s time to join you,

But that’s so hard to comprehend.

 

They say that only time will heal

At the moment I don’t want it to.

I want to remember everything

And the great times I had with you.

 

As your birthday is forthcoming,

Your gift is this ode I’ve written.

Sorry it’s poignant sad and tainted,

But sent with love from me to heaven.
