Mother
It's been so long since you've been gone, seems like an eternity,
Every minute with you made us smile, inside and out,
You were so kind…and gentle,
How could you be taken away so quickly?
I remember when we used to make those statues for you,
Every time we made one, it reminded you of him,
The one that left us, that bastard…
I always wondered if it brought you joy or sadness.
You were the one we always looked up too,
When we fought, you made it okay,
Even when we thought life had no meaning,
You were there.
The day you collapsed, when you fell,
You fell out of everyone's lives so suddenly,
As we held your hand, we begged whatever was out there to keep you here,
But to no avail.
Mother, you will always be remembered in our lives,
As the person who created us, taught us, cared for us,
Your face is what makes us happy,
And we're thankful to have known you.
Fin.
