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,
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.
Linda
