Losing A Mother

Even when you know someone is going to die It still hurts so very much Especially when it's someone Your whole life they have touched For as long as I can remember She was always there Every day of my life She showed how much she cared Death is something we all face It's one thing in life that's for sure She was always there to guide me She always made me feel secure But now the time has come For me to say goodbye The pain in my heart Will be seen by the tears in my eyes I know it's all right to morn the loss Of someone who gave me everything I'll now sit back and remember The way my life with her had been I'll think of her each and every day No matter where I'll be For she is the reason I am As she's the one who gave birth to me So I'll cry, I'll be sad but thankful Remembering all the good times we got to share It will make me happy because I will know That she knew, just how much I cared 12-1-09/RJH
