A Mother's Goodbye

Published by Family Friend Poems July 2019 with permission of the Author.

I only had you for a little while.
I was never able to see your smiles,
Yet I thank God for the little time we had,

But you are still a part of our family,
And we all love you; siblings, daddy and me.

When my life ends, and the others sing requiem.
I pray I'll be in heaven, and there I'll come see you,
Where you, my little angels, play under skies so blue.
