Rest In Peace, Mom - Part III

DEDICATED TO AGNES JOHNSON WHO DIED FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY ON MARCH 6, 2013.

You were my mother and I have something very important to say.
I love you and I lost an important person when you passed away.
You had an aneurysm which was what caused your untimely death.
I was in the hospital room with you when you took your final breath.

I was devastated when the doctor told us you were going to die.
Life would never be the same again after I had to say goodbye.
On the day of your death, I cried and I felt mighty low.
But I'm feeling better now than I did half a decade ago.

Even though time has healed my wounds, I still miss you.
Dying is terrible but sadly, it's what we all eventually must do.
It makes me happy to know how much we loved each other.
Rest in Peace Mom, you were always one hell of a mother.

May she RIP..there's a saying I've read somewhere along the lines of love your mother love your mother love your mother then your father etc..that's how great a mother is!
Having said that: your poem was not just beautiful but heartfelt and genuine..to me at least when I'm experiencing deep sorrow and manage to articulate it in my writing I feel free! I felt your freedom in your words..God Bless
