MOM

WHO AM I, TO QUESTION GOD?
BUT I DID!
I ASKED WHY YOU TOOK HER SO SOON.
I LOVED HER, I NEEDED HER!
TO FEEL HER STRENGTH WHEN I FELT POWERLESS.
TO FEEL LOVE WHEN I FELTS SO ALONE.
SHE GUIDED ME THRU THE DARKNESS.
MADE LIFE BEARABLE IN TIMES OF DESPAIR.
GAVE WHAT SHE HAD AND NEVER IN DOUBT.
SACRIFICE HER HEALTH TO PUT FOOD AND SHELTER BEFORE US.
SHE NEVER LET US KNOW HER PAINS.
PUT ON A MASK AND WENT ABOUT HER DAILY TASK.
AS I GOT OLDER, IT WAS MY TIME.
TO TREAT HER AS SHE DONE ME.
BUT THE TIME YOU GAVE WAS TOO QUICK.
I NEVER KNEW SHE WAS SICK.
I PRAYED TO YOU.
I BEGGED YOU.
BUT I GUESS YOU KNEW WHAT WAS BEST.
YOU TOOK ONE OF YOUR GREATEST CREATION.
YOU TOOK MY MOTHER HOME AND LET HER REST.

What a heartfelt poem!
I am glad you have such a wonderful mom. I say you have her because the ones we love never leave us really. Take care.

Hi, SUMMIT09,
To question is human; that's what we do. But, it is nice that you never had to question your mom's love that GUIDED ME THRU THE DARKNESS. The strength that continues through that love will remain to guide, day and night, through darkness. Thanks for sharing this lovely tribute to her with us.

Hi Summit09, What a beautiful tribute to your mother ! I lost my own in 1999, yet it still feels like yesterday ! But rest in knowing that they do not miss us, it is we who miss them, and she is there with you. Love never fails, it endures ALL things, including death ! It is the one constant in our lives ! That same love is still yours, as it shall forever be. aware3 teddybear hug
