Twenty plus years have gone by <br />since the day you passed away <br />and even though life goes on <br />I think about you nearly every day. <br />They say time is a great healer <br />but I'm not sure that is really true <br />because I looked at your picture <br />and my mood suddenly turned blue. <br />I wanted you to live a long time <br />but alas it wasn't meant to be <br />still I've got all of those memories <br />and nobody can take them from me. <br />So rest in peace my lovely Mother <br />until the day I see you again <br />then we all can be happy once more <br />when there will no more sadness or pain.<br /><br />Kevin Halls<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gone-but-never-forgotten-6/
