As the holidays aproach,the weather starts to change. A hole's deep through my heart,it'll never be the same. It hasn't been that long ago,since you had to go away. It's all that I can do at times,to get through lonely days. There are no more celebrations,that you and I can share. I always took for granted,that you would be right there. Everyday I said I loved you,still it wasn't said enough. And knowing I can't be with you,sure has made it tough. As I watch people getting ready,to celebrate this year. It's all that I can do to smile,and hold back all the tears. I still bring you pretty things,but I place them by your stone. And I visit you alot,cause you never liked to be alone. If someone said I could bring you back,I would have yesterday. I would be right by your side,you couldn't make me go away. You fought the battle for so long,and always wore a smile. You gave me everything you had,you made my life worthwhile. You were more than just MY MAMA,you were my best friend. And I could never regret one moment,of time with you I spent. You always did your best,to take good care of me. It's you I give the credit,though others may not see. So this holiday season,I will try to get through. And I'll be remembering,the time I spent with you. I love you my mama,and I miss you so much. Soon you can hold me,I need mamas touch. For MY MAMA "Loyce" 7/19/1941 to 7/16/2002 |

Welcome to Passions, Opoetry...this is a lovely tribute to your mother. Thank you for posting. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound [This message has been edited by Sunshine (10-12-2002 08:48 PM).] |

Welcome to your new home away from home! You are among kindred spirits and it really is like one great, big family! What a lovely poem to grace these blue pages with. Sorry to hear of your losses during the past year--your Mama and your home (no insurance? oh, my gawd!) Well, you'll get lots of support here at Passions and you can just pour your heart out--we'll listen! I'm looking forward to reading more of your postings! Sending you warm hugs, Earth Angel |

Welcome to Pip. You have written a lovely poem. As I read it the melody from a song written for "Aida" (Elton Johns version) came to mind. This is a lovely tribute. Looking forward to more. SG |
