She Misses Her Momma my best friend’s best friend is gone how do I hold her hand hold her heart wipe away tears she hides from the world pretending she is tough when she is tender she misses her momma when she leans to kiss her own daughter and thinks it wasn’t suppose to be this way no one was prepared for that goodbye she misses her momma where she now walks in fields of fireflies that we look up to see from here as stars and her lullabies are whispers on the wind she misses her momma a torn heart is a hurt to never get over but days bring things a little easier from a face never to forget for my best friend’s best friend is gone and she is missing her momma "I'm so hard to handle |

It is tough to read... but so very touching, so very beautiful. But yanno??? It sounds strange and isn't meant to make light of her pain... but I envy her. I miss my momma too... but we never had the chance or time to become friends. Hugs to your friend... and to you, too. *S* |

Your friend is fortunate to have you to help support her through this very difficult time. Tears are welling in my eyes, for I am missing my mama, too... So tenderly, and compassionately written, Helen. Love & Eternal Light, Linda  |

Very beautiful and compassionate, Helen. Almost like Ruth, I wish I missed my momma or my pappa or had had a sibling to miss. Owl |

This is heart-wrenching. And as always, spare, with not a bit of fat on it. Everything here is needed, and everything is where it needs to be. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

You express the emotions quite well in this and it's impact is powerful. You could almost feel the longing, the pain, the all of it. Superb job and truely well written. |
