Dearest ma

I miss you with all of my heart

In 2013 cancer tore us apart

You were given to me to teach me the way

To love, to care, to be kind and to pray.

You were tiny in build and feisty in grit

My proudest supporter and biggest crit

You sang me lullabies and held my hand

When you left, my heart sank in the sand

I am now comforted by the the encouraging thought

You are flying with the angels and the peace that you sought

Watching over all of us, our guardian above

Shining your halo of health, care and love.
