In Memory Of

In Memory Of

This is so hard for me to sing
Because of the many emotions I can’t express;
A hole is left within my heart
A feeling of emptiness.

Every single day since she’s been gone
My thoughts return to Mom;
And my mind recalls some memories of the past
That triggers like a bomb.

I know she would want me to go on with my life
And not to grieve for her day after day;
But with all the memories of her being here
I can’t put these feelings away.

I’m still angry with myself today
Because I didn't see her in time;
For I wanted to be at her bedside
When she left this world behind.

I wanted to kiss her forehead
Or hold her hand one last time;
I wanted to tell her I loved her
My Mom…my Mother of mine.
