She was not only my Mother, but also a good friend.…

Missing Mamma

by Corky Ferguson

The sun came up this morning;
It wasn't very bright.
My dark mood casts a shadow;
It's hard to see the light.

We all have just one mother
And, now that her life on earth is done,
The emptiness and loss I feel
Make it hard to see the sun.

Tomorrow is a brand new day;
May the pain and sadness lighten.
I will remember all her love,
And then the sky will brighten.

Gone is not forgotten;
Her love reminds behind;
She's traveled in a new direction -
Love knows no space or time.

I will always love her.
She will care for me from above.
She will send me starlight and rainbows
To remind me of her love.

I lost my mama, it will be one year ago on the 28th of March, your poem was very heart felt, I wish I had just one more chance to hold my mama and tell her I need her and that there really hasn't been a bright day in my life since she has gone.

I searched for a poem for days to recite at my motheres graveside on the day of her unveiling. I am not good with words and needed help to express my loss and love for my mother. This poem was perfect.

Your poem really touched my heart. I lost my mamma this past December on the 17th. Losing your mother is the hardest thing to do but, with the help of God I've learned to accept it. I know that I will meet her in heaven some sweet day, and you will also meet yours there too. God bless you for such a wonderful poem.

barbara

I really felt the words of your poem. It touched my heart like no other. I lost my mother this year and I am really young. I have 2 younger brothers and it's really hard for us not having our mother around. It is also nice to know that there are other people out there who are feeling the same way we feel then we know that we are not alone. Thank you for the touching poem and please keep up the excellent work.
