I tried to talk to Mom today
As I do everyday
But that empty feeling remains
Why did you have to take her away
I wanted to tell her so much
But the wind just isn’t her voice
I still can’t feel her touch anymore
And you know that’s not by my choice
I keep trying to understand that she is better with you
Than to be here enduring the pain she was in
But I still feel like it’s somehow my fault
Like she had to pay for my sin
I know I should have done so many things different
I wish I could take back all the bad
I would have been a better daughter
And made sure she wasn’t ever so sad
I know you have taken her
I know you have your reason
But you took her too soon
Right before her favorite season
The flowers are starting to bloom
The fragrant smell of roses in the air
I used to enjoy them all with her
But now they just bring despair
I wish you could have let her stay
At least for one more hug
From all of us who miss her so much
Our heartstrings she could always tug
Please tell her I miss her and I hope she is better
When you see her hold her hand
Let her know her baby loves her
And her memory will always stand
Although it hurts to be alive
Happy Mother’s Day, from daughter number five
