January 15, 2007, MOM's Passing Anniversary

By Debborah Jensen

Two years ago today,

I watched as your life slipped away.

Holding you in my arms and heart.

A chapter closes, another starts.

Everyday life, never the same.

Never again you will call my name.

I carry on, Full Matrairch am I.

After two years, pain would ease by.

But some days it takes my breath away.

How much of my life was for you each day.

Not a day in my life was without you.

Now it hurts and I haven't a clue,

When it will stop, if it ever will.

I carry on with my mission still.

To love others unconditionally.

Regardless of how they feel for me.

It's harder now without you,

Because your love was to the nest I flew.

Now I'm the nest for others to fly,

land for a minute and go on by.

I miss you mom, I know you miss me.

Someday together again for eternity.
