Day of birth

We are born

We die

This is a sure ritual of life

To celebrate without you feels pointless 

Birth is when a baby is born 

The Mother is also re born as she holds her baby close

Promising to be by its side

I really needed you here

You were the reason I smiled

Just going through motions

Doesn't fulfill 

I'm there in person but my heart went with you the day you departed 

I'm so grateful for family and friends

Wouldn't I truly smile

If I just saw you one last time?

Just one hug, one kiss and one more conversation? 

My soul cries for that peace and contentment

It was in your lap, in your embrace

I had my world and in an instant

It was gone

I love you Mum, always have and ways will 

Guide me to be a better Mum a better wife better version of me. . .
