For you, my Mother, <br /> Whom for me, there'll be no other. <br /> You suddenly had to go away, <br /> And you still had so much to say. <br /> Your life went out like a flame, <br /> But I guess, there's no one to blame. <br /> With this, I've tried so hard to deal; <br /> Yet, it still seems so very unreal. <br /> The Angels said your time was near <br /> Though you never showed any fear. <br /> You told me what they said to you, <br /> Shouldn't I have known what to do? <br /> The years keep passing quickly by, <br /> I still haven't found the tears to cry. <br /> Mother, I know there'll never be another you, <br /> And until I can cry, I'll forever be blue. <br /> So until I can be released from this pain <br /> I let the tears flow like a thundering rain.<br /><br />Cathy Bales Wilder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-mother-my-tears/
