When my mom left



In sorrows grip, my heart did shake
When my dear mother a soul did take
A gentle spirit now set free
Leaving behind a void in me

Her eyes like stars so soft and bright
Gave warmth and love both day and night
Her laughter filled the empty air
A mealody laced with love and care

She tended to my every need
A constant source of love, indeed
Through story seas and troubled days
Her gentle touch calmed the waves

But now shes gone, forever lost
Her presence oh how much it cost
The world seems so dull a lifeless place
A void that time cannot earse

Yet memories they softly speak
Of love and joy she'd always leak
In every corner, every trace
I see her smile upon my face

She taught me strenght when i was weak
Her wisdom wispered words i'de seak
So though she's gone far from my sight
Her love still shines with steadfast light

And though my heart may ache and grieve
Her spirit wispers do not leave
For in my dreams she walks with me
A guiding force, eternally

So i let the tears fall like gentle rain
My love for her will never drain
For in my heart, forever tied
The bind we shared will never hide

Though my mom died she's not apart
Her love lives on within my heart
As i walk this path called life
Ill carry her memory through joy and strife.
