I awake each morning to start a new day but the pain of losing you never goes away.
I go about the things I have to do and as the hours pass I think again of you.
I want to call you to just hear your voice then I remember that I have no choice.
For you are not there and now my heart cries, just to see you again to tell you goodbye.
To say Mum I love you and I always will and hope that much of you, in me you’ve instilled.
The day that you left I just didn’t know, that you were going where I couldn’t go.
And now all my memories of you are so dear, but oh how I miss you and wish you were here.
Who now can hear me when I need to cry? It is so hard to tell your Mum goodbye.
Someday I know all will be well and I’ll see you again with stories to tell.
Of how you were missed and how we have grown and how good it is to finally be home.
Until then my memories of you I’ll keep near and I’ll pass them on to those who are dear.
I miss you Mum!
