A tribute to my mother

 Too Soon You Left Me

Trying to make sense of this whole thing,
the more I think, the more I cling,
to the thought of you not being near,
and how much I miss you, Mother Dear.

I can still see reflections of your face,

I yearn for the warmth of your embrace.

Your caring eyes manifesting light,

reassuring me that everything is alright.

From the cares of the world, you fly free,

a long time here was never to be.

Since you left, I've shed a million tears,

but even the tears can't calm my fears.

Sweet memories of you, I hold in my heart,

never to abandon, never to depart.

Your reason and wisdom gone so suddenly,

my heart still bleeds, too soon you left me.
