For My Mother on her Birthday

MOM

You were always there,
You always loved me,
You accepted my faults,
and my eccentricities.

It’s hard sometimes,
now that you’re gone.
There’s a hole in my heart,
alone and forlorn.

I knew the day would come,
I just didn’t know when.
Time grew shorter,
with each passing day.

I tell myself each day,
you’re no longer in pain.
But what I wouldn’t give,
to have you home again.
