The day you went away
As I walk through the park
The silence made the memories hard
Sitting on the swing watching the smile on my sons face
I wish you were here but that’s not the case
My heart breaks and my tears flow
The birds sing the trees sway
A life time without you is a dark day.
I hope your watching over us
I hope death is not the end
I hope I see you even though your now gone
This was the day you went away

Thank you for sharing this poem with us. You have described your feelings very well and your love for your mum really comes across in your words. xx Jo
Thank you.When I can’t put into words how I feel
I write poetry.It started when I wrote a poem for my mother’s funeral.I just found it helpful.Everyone finds their own way to grieve I suppose and their own coping strategies.

So sorry that you have lost your mum, I lost my mum last july. That was such a lovely poem. Every day without her is a struggle. We always had such a giggle together, miss that the most. But I really believe that in years too come when I pass that I will one day be with my mum and dad again. And that for now they are with me. I know not everyone believes , but I truly do, and that helps
