Your beauty was that of a Greek goddess.
You would take from each a gasp of breath.
Your presence would make a room light up,
Make a funeral seem merry.
You lifted me up when I was blue,
And for that I should have said thank you.
But nothing can compare to how you’d shield me with your wing.
You’d hold me near,
You’d have no fear,
And sadness would melt away.
You’d wipe my tears,
You’d sing me a song.
You’d rock me in a tight embrace,
‘till all the pain was gone.
No-one could replace you,
That, I am sure.
Your smile soon started to fade.
Your happiness soon drowned.
Your face was a maze of complicated lines and shadows.
I wished that you could hold me,
Like you did before.
Though now you are gone,
You can’t hold me anymore.
I can’t turn back precious time,
You can’t live again.
I think I’m falling back.
I need your arms to hold me,
To never let me go.
How come the time when I need you most,
Is after you are gone?
I should’ve clung on tighter,
Said I’d never let you go.
But now I’ve lost you I will fall,
No one to catch me.
You left me hanging on a thread so small.
But you’re still my inspiration,
The one who I adored.
So I will hold my head high,
You would’ve only encouraged me more.
My tears will not be seen,
I will be brave like you once were.
I wish I could’ve made you see,
That you were not just my mother, But my eternity...
