Mother In Heaven

Dedicated to my Mom for mothers day- July 20, 1939-May 31, 2006- May she R.I.P.

Two years have nearly come and gone

since you were called upon to sing heaven’s song.

 

No matter how hard I try to fill the void

sometimes I still regret not being able to say goodbye.

 

Life now a days doesn’t always fill the same

without your smile to grace our sight.

 

Seems that I make more mistakes then before

or could it be you’re not here to say it will be ok.

 

Even accomplishments don’t ring with the same joy

maybe cause I can’t hear you say great job.

 

But I keep the faith in my future dreams

knowing you’re here giving spiritual support.

 

Though nothing takes away the pain of missing you

I know God is in good hands since you’ve earned your wings.

there was a time that I couldn't read poems like this. only this year was I able to read and review a poem about someone's mother. that poet actually talked me into writing about my mothers passing. so one I am happy I was able to enjoy this poem of yours as it shows I am healing after all these years. I also like that you wrote something so beautiful for your mother so soon after her passing. flow~

(wiping the tears off my cheeks) . . .

This is a beautiful and heartbreaking tribute to your mother. I'm so sorry for your loss. Truly, I am. I know that you have an empty place, that can only be filled with her. And yes, she most definitely is an angel, always watching over you.

I just recently reconnected with my father, after 27 years. We spent 3 magnificent weeks on the phone (as he lived 1,500 miles away) at least three times, daily. Such a beautiful and remarkable time, we shared.

Sadly, he died, just three weeks after we "found" each other. This was two months ago.

I feel your pain. No one can really relate to this tragic event, until they have been there.

Your mother is smiling down at you, with a heart full of pride and joy.

Just as I know my father is, with me.

Peace, sweetheart.

Awe, I'm sure she's whispering "wonderful work Dale", flows so from the heart. I was close to my grandmother and she's gone on, along with my Dad. But I can't imagine ever not having my Mom. Sorry for the grief and lonliness for her you still carry. I hope in writing this it brings some healing. She'd want you to move on and look for the thing in life that is a joy to you. If it helps look for the things that brought her joy, so you can remember happiness in those times. She'd want you to be happy. :)
God Bless

Actually, I heard you read this and was very touched by its beauty and your obvious emotion while reading it. It truly is a real beauty and I am sorry for your loss. If my arms were longer, I'd reach over and give you a big o hug. :+)

I hope you have a good day today, Hugs, friend.

my mother passed away ten years ago - and there are still times I think "I need to tell Mom this or that" then I remember - I don't think that pain ever leaves, just lessens over time. A beatuiful tribute to your Mom and I know she is hugging you from Heaven.

*hugs*
