My Mothers Memory Lives On Poem by Melissa Patty

Living each day with an empty space
Is not waking up and seeing your beautiful face
Blessed with a mum that dearly loved my caring dad
She raised me with every breath she had
Give me guidance and strength to grow up strong
Has now I hold my heart high as there in heaven she will belong
Throughout these lonely days that drift to the darkness of night
I wish I can rewind the pages and rewrite
From birth she held me close to her chest
Until her eyes fell deep in a peaceful rest
Her life was filled with memories galore
Longing to hear her voice again and to walk through the door
My mum was a woman of purity and truth
A true inspiration growing from my youth
She smiled without fail as she carried through
I hope one day I will truly become a woman like you
I miss every inch and hour we spent
For every laugh and happy times as they were memories truly meant
The doors opened as she spread her wings and flew high
Apart of me faded away as my heart now holds the tears I cry
In heaven I hope you always know
How much I love you in which I will continue to show
Although we are so far apart
You forever remain close deep inside my heart
I promise to make you proud in everything that I do
As your daughter I couldn't have asked for such an incredible mum like you
For now is goodbye my angel until we reunite in the promise land
As I glaze into your eyes we will stroll hand in hand
