Sarah

Dedicated to my mom, my mother, my friend - Sarah

Sarah

                                (1933 - 1988)

It's taken a while, too many years and lots of tears - I couldn't hide,

I try to write these words, but I find them the hardest ones to write,

To this day if I could have turned back time - I would have been there,

Been there to let you know I loved you, been there to hug you - but been there.

You were more than a mom, you were my best friend - it broke my heart to lose you,

Taking you to soon was what God felt he had to do - he took you to a better place,

I can stand by your grave and lift my head towards the sky and I know you’re there with me,

In my thoughts, my heart, my soul you will never be erased - because you are my mother.

Beneath the ground lies your body without life - but you lived your life while you were here,

I remember you always had a bright smile; I remember the sparkle in your brown eyes,

The love you gave was the richest part of who you were and that made you a true blessing,

Your laugh always lives in my memories, a joyful, jubilant, hearty laugh - you always shared.

Now the silence is overwhelming - I feel so alone, as emptiness tries to consume who I am,

And I know it’s too late to thank you for making me who I am - but you did the best a mother could,

You will always be special to me and if I had one regret - that would be missing my mother,

You passed away on a cold day in March and for me it's still hard to let go of my mom - to let go of Sarah....

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt and lovely tribute to your mom. No doubt she was blessed to have you as her son as you were calling her mom.

Now if I can only stop these watering eyes lol

This is beautiful and touching! I'm sorry for your loss, but I know that she will be able to see this and be proud. You very thoughtfully expressed what many people feel when they lose someone so close

Thank you, I know it has been years but it took time for me to find the way to express my words to her, for her... Again I say thank you..
