I remember you helped me recover from the cold
Sometimes I was heartbroken when I was little older
For me you were my rock and a soft shoulder
Never did I lack to eat or clothes to wear
whenever I needed you, you were always there
Two children you raised and loved to the grave
With all your heart you cared, your time you gave
Your joy with me you shared, you smiles and good cheer
In sadness you held me close and you were ever near
A strong woman you were and a great mother of two
Your love for us was great and for this I truly thank you
A while ago you got sick and I was scared
You were brave for us and you still cared
Terminal ailment was what the doctors said
But you fought the pain, you were not afraid
You were strong and resilient to the very end
Spreading joy and cheer wherever you went
One day it got worse and you were in the hospital bed
Everyday I said a prayer for you, many tears I shed
A minor surgery went wrong so the doctors said
I didn't want to believe it, I didn't want it to get to my head
The day you died is still etched in my mind, my heart bled
I had prayed and I wondered why God didn't heal you instead
Life without you is hard and unbearable
Days go by and and healing for me is a fable
How would I go on without you here
How would I live if you are not near
My heart cries out for you mom
You were the one who would bring calm in the storm
Sometimes I wish it was all just a bad dream
Sometimes I am so upset and I want to scream
I wonder if this pain can be cured by taking medicine
Or even balm that can heal my heart from deep within
I cannot believe that I will never talk to you again
Or even see you again, the pain, I cannot explain
I wish you were here to dry my tears
to heal my hurt and calm my fears
With your gentle hands and consoling voice
I know your gone now and not by choice
I still think of you and cry at night
I pray that one day I will be alright
I know now you are in a better place
Even though I will never see your face
Someday I pray my heart will heal
Because right now pain is all I feel
I love you mom, this is like a new start
But I want you to know you are forever in my heart.
~Dedicated to Julie Gitu who lost her mom. Love you Jules.~
