To My Mom, My Angel
5/1/47-10/1/94

Thirteen Years


One moment you were here
Then in a blink of an eye you were gone
Thirteen years has passed
Still the pain is just as raw

The pain hits hard this morning
I gasp for air to breathe
Why did you go?
You were so young, still so much to do

I can't see through my tears
Life will go on yes
My heart though screams for you
These tears are so much more

I thought time would lesson the pain
Not really sure it has
The pain just changes...transforms
As the time gets closer to having my own child

I promise I will never forget you
She'll know you as I do
Charlie will hear of your laughter and love
Missing you Mom, more than words could ever say

Sweet angel, you saved my life
There are no words
Only thing left to say...
I love you

"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"

May I join....It has been 36 years, but I
still feel the numbness, hear the silence
of my unanswered thoughts and so much more.

You wrote it beautifully.
