Mom

 

It's Mother's Day

And your not here

Yet, I still cry

For you each year

I was so small

When you died

You left no trace

As if you'd lied

I'm older now

A truth was found

No longer hidden

Deep in the ground

I accepted it

Though ugly and sad

I wasn't wanted

By you nor Dad

The damage done

I have moved on

Loving you both

Greiving your gone

You gave me life

Only you know why

I can't thank you

Or say, goodbye

Your part of me

I won't forsake

Dwelling on this

My heart will break

The tears will flow

So many  secrets

That now I know

Wherever you are

My love is there

Your still my "Mom"

This cross we bear
