41. Save A Place For Me
Momma, I wish you could take me by my hand
And help me learn to understand
Why you had to go away
I needed so much for you to stay
Momma, I wish you could take me by my hand
And help me learn to understand
Why you had to go away

So very beautifully written. I lost my mother 9/2/2012 to cancer. The grieving is sometimes too much to bare. We are never prepared for a loss like this no matter how old we are. How blessed...

As Mother's Day approaches,
it fills me with such dread.
Whilst others have their mothers,
mine's gone, not here; she's dead.
Your poem is great. I lost my mother too, too early. Since then I have fought various aspects of loneliness. I miss her. Occasions come and go, some which reminds me of her bewitching smile,...

A horse on a hill
Past the old railroad tracks
Just up the road
From the broken-down shack
Your time has come to leave us, Mum.
Dad called you back to him.
The ballroom floor is ready
For your dancing to begin.
With every beginning there has to be an end.
It's simple, so why can't I fathom it, comprehend?
No words can describe how much you are missed.
They are not in the dictionary; they simply don't exist.
There is this special place in Heaven that one day I will see.
It was built by an Angel, and she made it just for me.
She filled this place with happy thoughts, chapters of a life that have now passed,
How hard it is without you, Mum, knowing you're not here.
You gave me life, you gave me love, you pulled me from despair.
You picked me up when I was down and held me in your arms.
I wish I were there right now to feel your loving charms.
I hope that some of you can relate,
It's those simple memories that you cannot recreate.
Picking up the phone and saying hello,
Or giving me the advice that only you would know.
Your strength held us all whenever we fell,
Your heart was made of pure gold as well,
Tough times don't last but tough people do
That's what you told me and it's so true
If and when that tomorrow may come and I am gone,
You have my blessing to cherish life and carry on.
If you must cry for me, cry only for a little while,
You were always a great person
a great person indeed
You were always there
whenever I was in need
You are now amongst the angels,
Flying high above the sky
With your love still watching over us.
It brings many tears to our eyes.
You've gone and left me all alone -
All by myself - can't telephone.
In a world of days gone by,
I reached out for your hand today,
only to realize you are so very far away.
I want to hug you,
