The Day You Left Me

An ode to my mother.

Momma you left me and this world on a cold November day.

There were so many things I did not get to say.

I remember glancing over to you and thinking you were peacefully asleep but I was wrong, you were not asleep you were gone.

I began to weep and this awful thing swept over me, that awful thing was gut wrenching and painful grief.

I did not know what else to do but cry for you. You were my mommy and I loved you.

My worst fear was losing you and that day my worst fear came true. I somehow made myself believe you would pull through.

I was not prepared for your departure and just like that you were gone, I lost it and I could no longer be strong.

I could not have asked for a better mother then you and everyday of my life I miss you.

The love and compassion you shared with me will stay in the the deepest part of my soul even though in my heart there is a big hole, you will be my mommy forever more.

You were the best in life and in death, I will finally be with you the day I take my last breath.
