A poem for my mom.

Coming up the 2 year anniversary since my mom passed.  Love and miss her every single day.

I’m sorry I took you for granted

I didn’t realize till it was too late

If I could get just 1 more minute

I’d tell you what I appreciate

You were the best

The most caring

I never felt unloved

Even at my worst

You never gave up

Always helped me rise above

You helped me become a better person

I wouldn’t be here without you

Better wife, better mom, better me

Even after everything I’ve been through

I know I put you through a lot

But you never left my side

I hope you’re still right next to me

Even though I can’t see you with my eyes

I want to feel your presence

I want to know you’re with me

Some days are so fucking hard

I don’t know what I believe

All I know is I still need you

You were taken way too soon

I think about you everyday

Sometimes cry alone in my room

One day at a time

That’s about all I got in me

Until I see you on the other side

Please…stay with me
