Missing Mom
I’m missing my mom monumentally
Remembering relished moments that we share
I reflect upon the special things between us,
And all the sacrifices that she made.
Especially today when she was born,
I feel the cool breeze upon my face
And look around the world that’s filled with
life
And good smells are wafting through the air.
I remember there are times I felt some shame
And embarrassment would just encompass me
Yellow and green curlers in her hair
Head bobbing up and down while we’re at
church.
A loud and penetrating singing voice
Made me want to bury my head and hide,
But heaven knows how much those things are
missed
And what I would do now just for a kiss.
And those trifle things are overcast by far
By the greatness and the sweetness – who you
are
Your selfless, thoughtful attributes that
shine
And thinking of it makes my heart just ache.
How many times we stayed up really late
Doing projects cause I tend to procrastinate.
But there she was standing by my side
Creative, brilliant, supporter – never
failed.
I cannot say how many times she cooked
And supplied my friends and co-workers with
treats,
Or me with lunch and dinner so I’d eat
Something with semblance of nutrition.
And oh how loyal and faithful to my dad
And they never could be seen
One without the other
How precious and beautiful and I miss the
sight.
Today we celebrate her birth
But now that she is gone ‘tis bitter sweet
Because her life was nothing short of being
great
But today I’m really missing mom.
