Next Poem >>

I wrote this after I lost my Mum to Cancer. We only found out 7 weeks before she past away about the disease. I was alone with mum when she passed away. I feel honored that she felt comfortable and safe to go peacefully in my arms however the vision of her last breath will play on my mind forever. I miss my mum so very much....SO VERY MUCH. She was my world (just like she always used to say to me). I pray she is happy and safe and I pray even harder that we meet again. I have to see my beautiful mum again. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MUMSY..Always and Forever...your Narny...xx

Our Hearts Will Always Touch

©  Ranja Kujala
When I laid there beside you,
Could you feel me there?
My arms were wrapped around you,
And I was stroking your hair.

I was talking about all the good times,
For me they were every single day.
I wanted you to feel love and comfort,
And happy in some way.

I watched your every breath,
And prayed that each one wasn't your last.
The time we got to share together,
Went by too quick...Too fast.

I wanted you to wake up,
Please Mum...Open your eyes.
Tell me this is a nightmare,
And not our goodbyes.

As your last breath grew closer,
We layer there peacefully together.
My heart continually breaking,
Because I wanted you forever.

Then there it was,
Your final breath of air.
I didn't want to believe it,
This is so cruel and not fair.

I held your beautiful face,
And prayed you'd breath again.
I wasn't ready for you to go,
I couldn't admit that this was the end.

But then I realized that you were now in peace,
And not suffering anymore.
You were beginning the life of an Angel,
And your body would no loner be sore.

I held you close and squeezed you tight,
And tried to say goodbye.
I've lost my Mum and my number one best friend,
All my heart could do is cry.

I slowly got up,
I wanted so much to stay.
I leaned over and gave you one more kiss,
It was so hard to walk away.

Mum you are my entire world,
And I miss you so very much.
I wish I could feel your loveable cuddle,
And your soft and gentle touch.

But for now I have to wait,
Until we meet again.
You will always be in my heart and thoughts,
My dear Mum and best friend.

Always and Forever,
Our hearts will always touch.
Always and Forever,
Your baby girl loves you so much.

My mother just died of cancer too. Your poem spoke from my heart, it was beautiful.

Joy Posted on Monday, August 25, 2008

In 2004 my mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She was so determined to not let the cancer beat her and a year later she was cancer free. However, in December of 2007 she took an unexpected turn. We found out that she had a stroke. It was found that she had 2 brain tumors. The cancer had mastitised to her brain which is unheard of, so we are told. A week before Christmas, she underwent brain surgery to have one of the tumors removed. The other tumor was to be treated with chemo. However, the treatments work. She was admitted back to the hospital on June 6, 2008 and June 24, I lost my mother. I was there by her side every day. I was holding her hand and whispering in her ear how much I loved her and still needed her when she took her last breath. I can't think of a more helpless feeling. My heart is forever broken. My mother and I were so very close. I lost my best friend. She is my hero. She was so weak yet she was so strong. This poem touched my heart deeply. RIP

my mum passed away just yesterday and this poem says everything, still too raw to talk but would just like to thank poet for writing as it touched my heart sooooo much

nick ryan Posted on Sunday, October 12, 2008

I'm not good with words but I wanted you to know this is exactly how I felt when my dad passed away several years ago with cancer too. this poem touched me so very much! I cried when reading it because it was exactly what I went through and my daddy was my world. nothing in my life has been the same since. I feel so lonely since he's been gone, I visit his grave a lot, I even talk to him still. if only I could hug him again but one day I will when we meet in the sky with Jesus!
my prayers go out to you!

this poem really touched my heart because I just lost my mother to cancer dec.3 2008 and I can really relate to those last precious moments that you share.

TiShawn Posted on Sunday, December 21, 2008

This poem really touched me. I lost my mom from pancreatic cancer when I was 5. When I was 10 my dad passed away, and just in 2007 I lost my step mom. For everyone out there, spend all the time in the world with your parents. You don't know what you have until its gone.

I lost my mum 2 months ago due to cancer, right now I'm still struggling to come to terms with this loss, my home had always been wherever she was and even during her long illness when she had to spent so much time in the hospital, going to visit her there felt like going home. my mommy fought her illness with a rare courage of faith and though she went at a tender age of 41 I believe she's home with God. I long for her smile, her sense of humor and her advice, counsel and guidance. This poem really touched me, it reminded of mum's last moments which were spent with my dad, I know she felt the love...I miss her but at times I experience the peace that comes whit knowing that she's no longer in pain and that she is forever healed. I await the day I'll meet her again and call her mommy again in eternity..R.I.P

I have been highly touched by the cancer poem. I lost my mum on 8th Dec 2007. This is one of the saddest moment that is going to remain so for life. I loved her, I miss her so so much and I trust she is peacefully resting away from pain. She suffered quite a lot with Throat Cancer and finally she is finally resting. It was very painful for us.

Terry Posted on Wednesday, March 04, 2009

wow. this poem was amazing! I loved it. I somewhat relate because my older sister/best friend passed away from cancer. It touched my heart. and I put myself in your shoes. I'm almost in tears. I am so sorry for your loss.

Kristi Posted on Thursday, March 26, 2009

Your poem made me cry. I just lost my mom to lung cancer and I went thru the exact same thing. Everything you describe is what happened to me. My mom was my very best friend and the one person in this world that I could always count on to be there for me and when I lost my mom a part of me died. I'm so sorry for your loss

Kelly Cabral Posted on Thursday, March 26, 2009

My mother died of cancer November 21, 2007. She was diagnosed on October 28,2007 so she went way too quickly. Your poem made me cry but it was a good cry. I spent every day with my mother until the day she passed away. We shared some great stories before she passed away and made some wonderful new memories that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you for saying exactly what I felt.

My mum died of cancer last month, March 15th 2009. She was only 50 years old and diagnosed five months ago with pancreatic and secondary liver cancer. From the moment we found out Time went by way too quickly. Mum was ten days short of meeting her new, and second grandson whom I gave birth to on the 25th March. It has been extremely hard to come to terms with and not having her here to enjoy the precious moments with my new son, I know mum would be proud though. Your poem was beautiful and truly touched my heart. It bought me to tears. I love writing poetry and its my way of expressing my thoughts and feelings, yet I can't bring myself to write about my mum just yet. I miss her so much. Its hard to imagine living my life without my best friend...my rock...my mother.
I wish you all the very best for the future as I know your loss will forever be hard in someway to accept.
I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother.

Bianca Russell Posted on Sunday, April 26, 2009

Wow this poem brings me to tears! I still have my mother and I cant imagine life without her... I am very sorry for your loss. Your poem touched my heart

Karla L Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2009

Yes, this poem brings me tears, in fact I have kept your poem and shared it in my Facebook, hope you don't mind as it's similar to how I felt.
My mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer and passed away after about 3 months later in July 2008, the same month of my birthday. She survived the Stage 2B 20 years ago, but succumbed this time. I missed her terribly but can't do much.

Kim Posted on Wednesday, July 29, 2009

I am truly touched, you don't know what I'm willing to say to try and make it a bit better, but I know no words could explain my pain hearing your pain, though your mum sounds wonderful, and you are honestly very brave, I'm 13 and I can only imagine how you feel to a extent. I'm sorry for you loss.

Beautiful Poem, to bad it wasn't wrote for a different reason.

always here, xxxx Kasey

Your mum is still with you, don't forget. :)
