How I Wish

Jeannie

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.

    Beautifully penned Jeannie. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    A motherโ€™s touch
    Of undying love
    Within and all around you
    Not just from above

      Thank you for your kind words

        That's from one of my earliest entries here called That Maternal Touch. I more than understand your feelings for your mother. ๐Ÿ’ž

        I am so sorry for your loss๐Ÿ˜” losing a parent can be really hard and the pain will remain through the years. But i am sure your mother is watching you from above!

          Thank you for your kind words. My mom passed away 22 yrs ago on June 30th. I have been thinking about her lately. As I always do around this time of yr. She was my best friend. There are times when it still hurts just as much as it did in the beginning.

          • JudyStella

            I can understand ๐Ÿ˜” I wish you all the strength to endure the hurt.
