 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

For My Mum!

I can't believe I'm here today,
Putting you to rest with dad,
But I know that you're together again:
Though I'm glad, but very sad!

I sat and watched you struggle mum,
And now my heart's broken in two,
I've never felt grief 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 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 day 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...
It became a fight you couldn't win.

God's been good to me;
3 times in a week I got 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 hearts torn in two,
God decided her time had come;
And 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,
Then cherish her with loving care,
Because when you lose her, all you'll have left;
Is just an empty chair!!

For my mum who passed on 16th June 2012
R.I.P. mum.

You will live eternally with no pain...
No disability.
No struggle.
No strife.
Not bent...But straight!
Happy and blessed!

Perfect in the eyes of the LORD!
Always perfect in my eyes.

Always in my heart.
Always on my mind.

Always...
Always...
Always...
