Poem for our mother from your girls
Every time We smile,
Every time We sigh,
We think of your face,
And tears escape our eyes.
You were our world,
Our inspiration and our heart,
But when you left us,
We thought We would fall apart.
You were our best friend,
Our one true confidant,
And that’s not all you were.
You were also our mom.
We didn’t want to live without you,
But you would have wanted us to,
And if there’s anyone We want to make
happy that one is you.
We would give anything to have you back,
But We know that it was meant to be,
you are still watching us from up above,
And showering us with your love.
