To my mum

poem by: Ceri Baylis
Written on Mar 20, 2016

There’s an empty hole Left behind,
Heartache and sorrow are entwined,
In every action, thought and feeling I have
A big part is missing since you have passed,
Sadness tainting memories with lost hope,
Externally showing to all I can cope,
You were my constant, my rock my mother and friend,
On you I did leaned on, I could always depend,
The day that you left this world behind,
A piece of my being died inside,
I still can’t believe that you are now gone,
I try really hard to remain so strong,
I had so many plans and things we could do,
Now I must live on, live on without you,
I never got to say goodbye,
I didn’t expect it…I suppose that’s why
The last time I saw you we had fun where we went, 
now a cherished memory of the time that we spent,
I pray your soul is now at peace & free from lifes pains,
Our sadness & sorrow still remains.
I do not feel the need to lay flowers to signify loss
Everyday your in my thoughts and never forgot 
You suddenly passed and was taken away
Eternal peace for your soul I do pray
I hope you know how much I loved you
You are missed so much that much is so true.
