mommy i still love you . . . reflections

mommy i still love you . . . reflections

i remember your sweet childish smiles

that knew nothing of the coming sorrow

your greatest hopes were Birthdays and Christmas

otherwise you cared not ‘bout the morrow

you found solace in your Mother’s breast

and the gentle touch of her hand

why she had to go away

never will we understand

the Doctors called it Cancer

but what did that mean to you

after all they were Doctors

they would make Mommy good as new

and now the rooms are empty

there’s something missing in your heart

if i close my eyes to life once more

perhaps this nightmare will part

i was not prepared for this

no one told me this could be

life somehow has lost it’s glow

without you here with me

but there is something deep within me

something wonderful i feel

a gratitude to have shared with you

a love i know is real

so i shall continue onward

and be the best me that i can

for i know somewhere in the heavens above

you are my biggest fan

mommy i still love you

This Poem is dedicated to all the Children who have lost their Mothers to Cancer or any other Illness or Tragedy . . . . I wrote this to capture the essence what i empath from my own Children’s loss and Spiritual vexations.
