Reminders

One day, you left this earth.

So many things we could never say.

Suddenly, I woke up to you gone far away.

My mind can’t fathom why you were given Angel wings that day.

Just about three years passed & this sadness never changed.

Daughters without their mothers, will never be the same.

Memories within my mind, family photos, hung up & on display.

Milestones you’re not here for, my heart will always break—

At the drop of a dime, even when they mention your name.

In this lifetime, you need your mother to help you through the rain.

Your clothes & things I have stored away—

whether I stumble on your rings or one old blue sock, it brings me so much pain.
