How I Wish

I think of you often.

Always on my mind.

I feel you are near. 

If only I could see your beautiful

face again.

 

To be able to talk to you.

Tell my worries to.

As your words of wisdom

tell me everything will be alright.

Share my deepest secrets with.

 

To touch you again

feel your embrace.

Just one more hug.

To hold your hand

never to let go.

 

One I talked with,

laughed with,

cried with.

Now I cry for.

 

It is said it gets easier with time.

The pain and grief subside.

So untrue to me.

 

Days go by,  years do pass, but

the pain and heartbreak of 

losing you are just as great

as the day you passed.

 

All that remains are

the sweet, wonderful

memories of you,

the two of us together.

 

Oh how I wish I could have

more time,  just one more day

with you.

Love you, my mother

my friend.
