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.

Author's Note

This poem is my gift to my mother who passed away nearly two years ago and still dearly missed.

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~

This is impossible to review for me, especially after hearing you read it tonight on the radio. You have really outdone yourself and pulled at every heart string with this moving tribute. I still have my mom, but she's getting older, so the idea of losing her scares me. This brings that home in such a wonderful, powerful and ultimately loving way.

It touches me because I just lost my grandmother...
And it speaks to our family as well as to your heart, which was clearly touched by the events.
It's a sad fact of life we all pass on, but no matter how much we think we understand that fact, we are never ready for the day that nature takes its final course within us.
Thank you for sharing this emotional poem with us.

This is very good. How hard it must be for you to talk about your mothers passing on. I don't know what it is like to lose a mother but my grandmother passed away last year and this poem made me think about her. What a beautiful way to remember her!

upon you everyday:) AD
