Dear mummy
It’s been sixteen years with out you
I miss you each day as if think of the lovely times
I wish you were here to see how far I have come
The memories of your laughter i hold on to
Your personality i could not replace
Your thoughtfulness and caring nature
I miss all of those recollection I embrace
Your presence always lit up a room in reminiscence
Your neighbours know a vacuum has been created and echo this
Each time I return there to visit on my vacations
The church in Festac I am very fond of
As you gave me valuable memories here
To which i hold on to this day of remembrance
The many times we sat and talked
We bust out laughing as if the world has stopped
We could confide on each other as you made me feel safe
You did your best for us mother in cognisance
So you could be rest assured to rest on in power
As one day we would meet in heaven to part no more in retrospect
