You were my everything
And I thought I knew
How much you meant to me
But my aching heart shows
How wrong I was
How little I knew
About your place in my life
* * *
My best friend—
An ear to listen
A shoulder for me to cry on
A smile to reflect my own
A laugh for me to share
* * *
My mentor—
My guiding light in this dark world
Forever showing me the path to take
Keeping me from straying
Never to diminish
* * *
Mama—
Lost without your presence
Struggling to find my place
Empty without your warmth
—Will it return?
* * *
I thought I knew how much you meant to me
But you don’t really miss the sun until it’s gone
Its warmth forever out of reach
Yet its light reflected in the moon
Giving hope that it will rise on another day
