Mother

You would think I would be over Mom,
It's been ten long years since you've been gone,
But I think of you all of the time,
Hoping I was a good daughter, when you were mine.

Wishing you had stayed a lot longer,
Would be selfish, you were not able to get any stronger,
But not a day goes by that I wish you were here,
I hope I loved you enough when you were near.

Only one Mum, that gave you all you can savour
One that truly loves you and shows you favour,
I miss you, in my life every day of the week,
Wishing you were here, so that we could speak.

But along with the life you have given to me,
Comes the reality of your death, I'd rather not see,
And although you are gone, I'll remember you just the same
For you were my Mum, and you loved me without any fame.

Miss you, Love you,
