To my Mama

So many things you really regret

Some actions you want to forget.

It's hard to not sit and cry.

It's also hard to watch your Mom die. 

Our relationship wasn't as close as it could be.

But Still I loved her and she loved me.

I always try and stay strong.

She tired but didn't last long.

It was a year ago...but it still feels like today.

The way she used to talk...laugh...argue and play.

I want her here with me.

To share my success and glory.

I know she would be proud of me.

But that part I'll never see.

Her here again will never be.

But I know she's watching me.

Author's Note

I wrote this a year after my mother died...and its been almost 6 years since. Just thought I'd dig up this flashback. Memories.
