A tribute to my mom who passed away in 2001, a poem for Mother's Day. |
MURIEL You left us on a cool Autumn night, A last breath in a world that you gave so much; I was not with you when your soul passed on, Your only remaining son was asleep at home; I regret not being there when you departed that night, A Mom who was my best friend, my only friend; The years have passed yet I miss you more and more, An Angel who picked me up all those times I fell; The smile you gave so often to so many in life, The laughter you shared even when you were so sad; Your pain and suffering was so hard to witness, So undeserving for the Saint that you were down here; The comfort I get comes from the person you helped make me, And as you look down form the Heavens I try so not to disappoint thee; So thanks for the beach, the circus and the wonderful times you gave me, Also the character you instilled inside me, which has guided me through; I will always miss you my Dearest Mother Muriel, And I hope to fill the last seat that waits by you in Heaven; So as I close this tribute to the Lady who gave all of herself to me, Have a Happy Mothers Day and soon with you I’ll be. |
