Merry Christmas Mum

As the bells chime for Christmas Day
I try to smile and keeps sadness at bay
But then I realise Christmas isn't the same
Without you mum, a major part in this game.

There's no more phone calls about mrs browns boys
Or wondering whether my sons liked their toys
No more wonder at the latest Xmas movie
And Laughing so hard at you trying to be "groovy"

No more Xmas eve phone calls goodnight
Or phoning up before I saw light
All excited that santa had been
You're an adult; you're not supposed to be so keen!

I miss you so much
More each day
My Christmas wish would be to just hear you
Say
Happy Christmas Lou enjoy it love
Instead I have to just look above
And smile as I realise you're not far apart
Because you will always, smiles and all, be in my heart.

Omg you never know. When that call will come. It's never ever expected. It always strikes you dumb. Omg must be the shock. My head hurts me so. All the thoughts rush around.

I wish you were here. Like you wouldn't believe. My heads in my hands. I'm starting to grieve. Why did you go. And leave me this way. I wish it was me. Then you could stay. I'm lost and alone.

If You Could See Me Now

If you could see me now. I hope that you would both be proud. Of the person i've become. As you look down from your cloud. I hope i've lived up to your hopes. And havent made real your fears.

Taid

Soft beeping, Chemical air, You shouldn't be here, Life's unfair, Nurses whisper, Flowers lie, Beside your body, Please don't die... Gentle eyes, And greying hair, How will I cope, With you not...

Nan/Broken

I have this feeling. In my heart. But I don't. Know where to start. The need is great. I must confess. I just don't know. How to express. It fills my heart. With so much fear. I'm crying inside.

Keep strong. Your mum is with you and would be sad for you feeling this way. Like the song says "Everybody Hurts Sometimes".
