My heart is heavy laden
many tears I have cried
since you went away
my heart is so empty inside
You were my guardian angel
my best and dearest friend
you taught me lessons to live
and stood by me until the end
I miss our many talks
you made each day so bright
your courage and cheerfulness
was a gifted, shining light
The picture of your face mom
the memory of your touch
and so many other things
I've come to miss so much
You'll never leave my thoughts
or leave my heart behind
I'll always keep you close beside
and forever on my mind
Save a place for me mom
I know it can't be long
when soon I'll join you there
and I'll finally feel at home

A very beautiful tribute for your beloved mother. She is truly your guardian angel now.
ReplyDeleteThat she is Beth. Thank you so much.
DeleteOh Susie, this is just beautiful, and the rose is a perfect way to show your heartfelt words. I have been missing my mom lately too, and when I was reading this, it truly reminded me of her. What a wonderful poem this is. I know you miss your beloved mother.

ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm so glad you still have your mom, even though it is across the miles.
DeleteSuch precious words for those of us who have lost our mothers. I guess there will always be an empty spot in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteThank you.. and there's nothing to fill it.. but they are in our heart forever.
DeleteBeautiful poem, Susie... my mother has been gone for 7 years now and I still miss her every day... *sigh*

ReplyDeleteThank you Daisy and I'm sorry about your mom too.. Hugs to you my friend.
DeleteHi Susie, this poem is so beautiful. It made me think of my own mother, who past away 1997. I think of her every day. She is still so much a part of me and who I am. I think one of the things I miss the most is being able to make things for her and give her presents. Her face would light up like a child's, she had such an appreciative heart. She was a very petite little woman only 4ft. 7 in. and she weighed about 85 lbs. It was hard sometimes to find adult clothes that fit her well. I always had my eye out for things when I would go shopping. A few months ago I saw a little jogging suit in Belk's and my heart jumped a happy jump. I instantly thought "Oh, Mama will love this!" and then I suddenly remembered she wasn't there. But it also made me happy too because I knew she would be happy to know that she is always in my thoughts. Have a lovely evening ahead my friend and thank you for all of the sweet comments you leave on my blog! With Love, Delisa :)
