I know what you are feeling, I’ve felt it too my love <br />Our mother’s are now in heaven, looking down from above. <br />The sadness you are feeling, I know it is profound <br />And I know how hard it is, when others are around. <br /> <br />But take their love and cherish it, hold tight to it my dear <br />Because the coming days will be difficult I fear. <br />Only you will know your pain and only you can share it <br />Please talk to us about your grief, let us help you bear it. <br /> <br />Your mother loved you greatly, as I know my mom did too <br />Take to heart this simple truth, she wouldn’t have wanted to leave you. <br />You were everything to her, you were her pride and joy <br />You were her brilliant, handsome child, her precious little boy <br /> <br />So don’t rush yourself or your feelings now, take your time to say goodbye <br />And do not feel ashamed if you feel you need to cry. <br />Think about her often, think about her love <br />And think about her smiling at you from up above.<br /><br />Kathleen J.
