I wrote this for my Mother who died in June of 2004.

As that morning approached for us all in mid-June,
My heart it was aching as I knew it would be soon.
The calls were all made in hopes they would all make it,
Before you left us to fly with the Angels and be taken.
The room it was filled with so much love all around,
Only one missing and he couldn’t be found.
The minister arrived with all the prayers needed,
We all formed a circle around you as we all pleaded.
As we all reached Amen, and you took your last breath,
And flew away with the Angels to that I can attest.
Your laboring breath and your suffering had passed
as quietly and peaceful you lay there at last.
Its been over two years since that mid day in June,
but it is you that I miss , you were taken too soon.
I know in my heart you are up there right now,
keeping an eye on us all while slowly you bow.
So until that day that we meet once again,
Keep an eye on us all as I pray without sin.
Ill love you forever, and promise never to forget,
the lessons you taught me, I am forever in your debt.
My mothers love is like no other,
all I wish was one day more for us to cover.
With your sweet arms around me, that precious smile on your face,
for me and us all can never ever be replaced.
So go now dear mother and no turning back,
As I look to the clouds you are all that I lack.
Fly with the Angels and keep on the right track.
The ones left behind will never stop missing you,
but your smell when your near me, keeps me without a clue.
I know in my heart you are in a good place,
With loved ones beside you I just know that’s the case.
So fly now my Mother with wings spread so wide,
Ill love you forever I say with a sigh…..

No matter how much time passes us all by,
Mom I will always love you and never ever stop missing you!

    I lost my mum in April of that year. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her and talk to her.. I kept an old bottle of one of her perfumes, that I open every now and then so I can remember what she smelled like. Sad I know, but it helps me to remember how beautiful she once was. I’m sure your mum is looking down on you now, her soul filled with pride at how wonderful you are for having honored her in memory. Always know that the love is still with us even after they’re gone. :) Take care..
