WHERE IS MY MOTHER
On this day~ Distance~ From the other Today
~
Has time been frozen~ with all my tears
No one wants to see me this way~ No one wants to hear it
My smile is gone~ The pain~ I cannot bare it
I had to stay so strong~ so long~ I had to stand so tall
My Father is not here~ My Son is battling cancer
WHERE IS MY MOTHER
~
“Carry On…Carry On~with the Grace of God beside you~
Someday you will know the answer”
~
My shoulders feel so weakened~ My heart so sad~ So long
My Son is cured~ Thank you God
But~ WHERE IS MY MOTHER
~
A moments deep breath~ Today~ has awakened all my senses
The sun has thawed the frozen years~ I begin to feel~
Feeling all the sadness
WHERE IS MY MOTHER
~
The tears~ so fresh~ how could this be
This day~ so like another
The tears keep pouring down my face
I cry out~ WHERE IS MY MOTHER
~
On this day~ I look up at the big blue sky~ And know
My Mother is Home~ Safe~ Beside my Father

About this poem
It has been four years since my Mother passed. I have never mourned her loss. I had to carry on for my Son, who needed chemo treatments right after my Mom passed. Finally, I was able to breathe and mourn the loss of my Mom and feel the pain and sadness of losing my Dad, years prior. I had to be strong for my Mom and then I had to be strong for my Son. It is so important to mourn your loss. It releases the pain and fills the void with acceptance and peace.
