I posted this on FB & I hope you all do not mind that I post it here as well. I wrote this shortly after my mom passed away. I am posting this today in memory of her birthday.
MOM
I never imagined the day would come,
when you would no longer be here
to help us through the years.
You were there to dry the tears,
keep away our fears & keep us full of cheer.
Your arms were always open for hugs,
your heart always open for love.
Your smile would brighten the room,
your laughter would warm our hearts.
Your lovely blue eyes had seen so many things,
but they always shone brightly for your family.
The love that you gave us was so precious & dear,
how could we know the end was so near?
Our hearts ache for you, our pain still fresh.
You are etched in our memories,
you we will never forget.
You gave our children the best love
they will ever know.
A loving grandmother,
to be remembered as they grow.
The day you left us, part of us left to.
How do we go on, what do we do?
We try & stay strong, we try to make it through.
But everyday without you just seems so blue.
You were the light in our lives,
that has now been dimmed.
Life feels so unfair, now where do we begin?
We miss you so much, we want you here.
We are selfish, we want you near.
We know you are watching, helping in some way.
Helping us get through each new day.
Please know that you were loved & always will be.
Forever in our hearts.....
Never forgotten.......
Our mother our friend.
Happy Birthday Mom, I love you & miss you!
