Sitting by your open coffin

I will never forget
that day at the mortuary
We all had just
one hour for viewing
And everything that day
was so confusing
I remember pulling up a chair
and sitting beside your
open coffin
I can still remember that day
like it was yesterday
I held your frozen hand
and I kissed your forehead
as I ran my fingers through your hair
and I cried over you
and told you how much I loved you
and missed you before I said goodbye
I spent the whole hour
sitting beside you
in the viewing room
realizing this would
be the last time
that I would ever see you
So I paid my last respects to you
and I said my final good byes to you
It was the hardest thing
that I ever had to do
Its been over nine years
since you have been gone
And I will never forget the person
that I had called Mom
Thank you for adopting me
and being the best mom
you could ever be
