I Lost My Mother Today

I tragically lost my mother when I was 3 years old. This is my poem to her.

I lost my mother today,

But never had I known,

Perhaps it was her absence,

For the reasons that Ive grown.

 

I lost my mother today,

The pain renders me still.

It lingers for attention

That no one can fulfill.

 

I lost my mother today,

But she’s never left my side,

She’s the reason for my sorrow,

She’s the reason for my pride.

 

I saw my mother today,

She came to say hello,

For I can never lose my mother,

She will never let me go.
