Hi Mum...

originalkitten • 19 followers

A year has passed,
The tears still fall
Since cancer stole you
From us all

I miss you more
With every passing day
I wish that I was now
Old
So that it was my turn to call it a day

They said that time would heal
That hurt it would no more
Why has time not healed?
Why does it still feel so sore

I think you never do heal
You only adjust, and start to feel numb
Memories become pleasant
Not making you overcome

Mum I hope it's nice up there
say hello to Nan
Did you meet my daughter up there?
Let me know if you can

I look everywhere for signs
That you are trying to
Get through
With a hello or a hi Lou, how are you? You know I really love you.

I have to go now mum but I love you
From the bottom of my heart
I pray to you that you show me
That really, we aren't apart.

Night night dear mum
Der den then
I miss you and your hugs
Where you would plump my pillows, tucking me in snug as a bug in a rug.

Be near me all night long,
Keeping me safe and warm,
By my side please remain
Wrap your wings around me Mum
Until we meet again.

A beautiful, heartfelt write👏 I'm sorry to hear about your Mother😥 I don't think you ever completely recover from something like that (my father passed two years ago and it still hurts like hell). I hope you're alright. Xx

My mum died at Christmas too. This is a beautiful tribute, you will always miss her but cherish the memories. Have a look at a piece I did called 'no fixed abode' it may help. Hugs 💚💚💚💚
