I wish I had another minute to show how much I love her <br />I would give her flowers every day <br />I would just listen to her talk about her day <br />I would clean the house better <br />Make her favorite meals <br />Laugh with her <br />Dance with her <br />Talk to her more about my life and who she raised me to be <br />I would, if I could <br />But I can’t… <br /> <br />She died over 11 years ago <br />I haven’t gotten over it since <br />No one has ever been there for me as much as she was <br />No one has ever cared as much as she has <br />No one has sacrificed more to make sure that I am the man I am today <br />But, I realized it all too late <br /> <br />Her beauty was captivating <br />Her laugh was intoxicating <br />Her strength knew no bounds <br />And she loved her sons to the highest level <br /> <br />If I had another minute this is what I would do <br />I would hold onto that woman so that she couldn’t leave <br />Give her my strength so that she could fight the battle that she lost <br />Give her my youth so that she could hold on for more years to come <br />And give her my heart because love conquers all <br /> <br />Even though her illness took my mother away <br />I hope she knows that I will be seeing her one day <br />And when I see her, I will shout and dance for joy <br />I may be a man, but I will always be her little boy <br /> <br />I love you mommy<br /><br />Andrew Sheran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/loving-memories-last-forever/
