void

Ten years later my tears are still wet, for I havent been able to let you go yet.

With a heart of gold and a fist of steel, the love you had was very real.

You were hard to love, but you loved hard, for peoples feelings you did not regard.

In twenty-eight years I never did hear, those three little words that many fear.

But that was then and this is now, my experience with you has made my vow.

I vowed to tell my children everyday, that my love for them wont fade away.

You're my mother and that wont change, but our relationship, was estranged.

I miss you now, and I always will, you let a void no one will fill.

Ah...mother's.....we all have one......somewhere
It's often the case we focus on the good and not the bad.
But they are no different than we....making mistakes, trying our best and still making a mess.

well done. should that say 'left' a void, in the last line, not 'let' a void?
