"Mum, I'll love you forever"

by L Watson

Mum, I'm frightened I might forget your face,
Your loving smile, your warmth, your grace
Your hands that held me, oh so close
These are the things I'm missing the most..

Mum, I'm frightened I might forget your thoughtful ways
Caring, & unselfish, thinking of others, every day
The many ways you enriched my life - the best of mothers
You taught me to know right from wrong and to see good in others.

You have left me and I thought you'd never die
It makes me sad and hurts so much, that I begin to cry
Oh Mum, I love you and know that you loved me
Is it true that you can see me and are you proud of me?

I'd give the world to see you once again
To tell me of another life, a life without pain
A better world, than we've ever known
A Heaven, where we are all God's own.

One more chance to hold your hand, or touch your skin
It's warmth and softness, felt so comforting
Once more to see your smile and hear your laugh
But for this, I need more, much more, than a photograph.

I visit your grave and silently pray
That we will meet again some day
The tears still fall unexpectedly
When I am alone with my memories.

I know memories may see me through this time of sadness
And although it's hard to think of you with any gladness
I want to thank you for your unending love
And hope you are safe in the arms of the Lord above.

My love for you Mum, will never die
Even if my heart's heavy and I often cry
Living my life without you, I feel very alone
But I survive by thinking of you looking down.

Goodnight dear Mum and God bless
I'll try to make my life a success
So you won't feel that I've let you down
I'll love you forever, the best Mum ever known.
