Miss You, Mom

 

When you were here, Mom,
The world felt gentle

Every breath was light,
Every path, a song of ease.

With you beside me,
Life bloomed in colors I didn’t know could fade.

But then, bit by bit,
You slipped into the quiet 
Like twilight stealing the edge of day.
And soon the clouds gathered,
Wrapping my world in shadow and ache.

Now, I reach for you in every silence,
And all my heart can whisper is
I miss you, I miss you…
There are no other words to say.
