MISSING MY MOTHER…

If only she were here with me,
My sweetest Mum, my dear…
I’d love her nicest face to see,
Her warmest voice to hear…

She’s not with me, she’s far away,
Floating on the Heaven cloud.
But I’d love her to stay with me –
That’s what I often think about.

I want to call her, but the bells
In silence voiceless fly,
I take a pen, but cannot spell
A single word… and cry…

She taught me everything on Earth –
To LOVE and UNDERSTAND.
She taught me ALWAYS BE MYSELF,
But not at once pretend!

My Mother, dear, I know you watch
My life at every moment here.
And when I’m gone I’ll also search
My son’s misfortune or success, being near…

I do share your feelings, they are so close to me. Your poem is sad but it is written with love and respect!
Best wishes!

Thanks a lot, Tatyana, for understanding my feelings.... All my nearest and dearest have gone, the only one left is my son, a school leaver this year. And there are a plenty of moments of sorrow or happiness which I'm eager to share with my parents but.... Now they are my friends whom I share such things with.

Your poem is very sensetive....it has a lot's of felling...when I read your poem, there is a wisch to cry..It's very touching!

Dear Svetlana! I started creating the poem for hundreds of times, but tears prevented me from doing it at every attempt... It looked like I lived the whole life again, the life with my Mum being alive..... She died tragically almost 8 years ago and I miss her at every step and stage of my existence...
Thank you for the warm words.

I don't know how I can put "marks" for your poem!!! It's not for the contest - it's for my heart and my soul...THANK YOU!

Irene, dear, your comment is the best "mark" I can ever dream of... Thank YOU!!!

Irene! Your poem made me cry.... It is so full of feelings.

Thank you, dear Olga, that being too busy you found some time to read my poem!
