RIP Mom

It's been a year today...

Every time that I smile,


Every time that I sigh,


I think of your face,


And a tear escapes my eye.

You were my world,


My inspiration and my heart,


But when you left me,


I thought I would fall apart.

You were my best friend,


My one true ‘confidante’,


And that’s not all you were,


You were also my mom.

I didn’t want to live without you,


But you would have wanted me to,


And if there’s anyone I want to make happy,


That anyone is you. 

I would have given anything to have you back,


But I know now that it was meant to be,
For you are still watching from up there,
And I know you’re watching me.

I’ll make you proud mom,


I’m going to fulfill your wish,


You’re going to see me and smile,


That’s a daughter’s promise.
