For My Mum! An Empty Chair...For My Mum! Who sadly died on July 16th 2012 R.I.P. Mum... This is to be read at her funeral on Tuesday 24th July. I can't believe I'm here today, Putting you to rest with dad, But I know you're together again: And that's great; though very sad! I sat and watched you struggle mum, And now my heart's broken in two, I've never felt grief and pain like this, And I don't know what to do? You didn't have the strength mum, To fight this last battle true, I can't believe you're gone, And that's why I don't know what to do! As I watched your health decline, It just cut me like a knife. How do you get through losing – The very one who gave you life? I guess you never imagine... That your mum one day won't be here, And when that arrives; it messes you up - And nothing's clear... You had some pretty bad times, And took everything on the chin! But as your health declined lately... It was a fight you couldn't win. God's been good to me, 3 times in a week- I was able to see you again! And now, in the blink of an eye, My life will never be the same. You died 3 days after that last visit; I was totally shocked to the core, But I know with all certainty, You're waiting behind heaven's door! ****** So no, I wouldn't want her suffering, Though my heart's torn in two, God decided her time had come; took her home, As only He can do. And now she resides with Christ, And I've such faith in God that I know... He'll always, always look after her; I've got that comfort wherever I go! But I'm lost in a haze of emotions; And I'm floundering in the sea, My head's a mess, I've lost my mum, And it's just about killing me! So if you still have your mum, Cherish her with loving care, Because when you lose her, All you'll have left; is an empty chair!! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem |
