Remembering Mom on Mother's Day

Pearlygates
I knew that it was time
for you to go away

But selfishly I'd wished
that he would let you stay

They say that time heals all wounds
and you've been gone now for four years

Yet there are many days
I can't hold back my tears

On this Mother's Day
I just want to let you know

How very much I miss you
and how I love you so

    My grandmother, who was like a mother to me, passed away last month. Your poem reminded me of how much I miss her.
