A Letter for Mom

By Soulfire

I would give anything to hold you again
I have so much to say
I feel empty inside since you were taken away
I want to call you when I am sad or happy
I want you here when, for no apparent reason, I feel crappy
When I am sick, I long for that hot cup of tea
I want to hear you call pans "crockery" so I can tease you lovingly
I want to call and hear you say "what's new pussy cat"
I miss you and I miss all of that
I know you are free from pain and in a better place
but I'd give anything to see your sweet face
I want you back for me, it's selfish...I know
but without a mother, where does a girl go?








I love you mom. I miss you everyday and I can't believe it's been two years...there is no end to my tears.
