I love you Mom

by Todd Shores   Mar 1, 2006


Here lies my empty broken heart
It was drained after we were torn apart
I have cried and cried so many tears
Just thinking about the memories over the years
I try to take things one day at a time
And try to get my life back on line
But nothing will ever be the same without you
We had so much left to do
It may seem as if all this isn't fair
But question God I wouldn't dare
He had a plan and a job for you to do
And we expect miraculous things out of you two
Everything in life is now so hard
I feel like I have lost my guard
But I know you are in Heaven smiling down at me
And protecting me from everything for all eternity
My life seems so lonely everyday
No one here to take the pain away
I know you wouldn't want me to get upset
Or to have even one single regret
I knew that you were in so much pain
Something I wish I could wash down the drain
But I asked God to take the pain away from you
And He did exactly what I asked Him to do
The hardest time is lying in bed at night
When I end up crying with all my might
I need you here to help me stand
Or to at least hold my hand
One thing you taught me was to always be strong
And that's what you were all along
Some days are harder than others
With the pain that tends to smother
But I try to put on a smile
And think of you for all this while
God keeps telling me this isn't the end
And that in Heaven I will see you again
I know your spirit is here with me
Along with everything I cherish endlessly
And everyday I say, "Mom, I love you"
And with every new day she says, "Son, I love you too."

    Omg, that was wonderful. I've never cried reading a poem on this site, but I just did..No matter how sad it was, it still made me smile seeing how well it was written. Keep it up. I cant say that I know what you're going through, and I can't imagine how it would feel. You're in my prayers. 5/5
