I missed you today Mama, but that is nothing new.
Mother's Day will never be the same, without you.
The tears have flown freely, you live on in my heart, completely.
I begrudgingly moved your word search from the dining room to the dresser with your things; your glasses, your slippers, all of this causes a pang.
Me and my babies,, we sit at your spot on the couch,
with your picture above us, I feel your presence all about.
I will teach them how great you were around, and let them know that now, you fly freely up in the clouds.
You're now without pain or sickness, o death, where is your sting? On my right finger, sits your wedding ring.
Along with the memories of you in my heart, I carry it with me, reminding me that we are never truly apart.
The grief will try and try to wreck me, but I hold to the promise that you are now free.
I hug and kiss my babies, being thankful throughout the day.
The Lord blessed me with them, I sit with them and play.
I mother my babies as you taught me, giving them the world regardless of tribulation.
Your love will live on, through another generation.
I push the sadness aside, your love is my guide.
You wouldn't want my crying, I can hear you sighing.
"Brittany, keep going on, don't keep me from flying."
After all, I am a mother now too, hoping to be only half as good as you.
