A Daughter's Promise
Every time I smile,
Every time I sigh,
I think of your face,
And a tear escapes my eye.
Mothers are faithful companions and confidants even in the most difficult times. Mothers dedicate their lives to caring and providing for their children both physically and emotionally. They always seem to know how to help them to overcome problems and thrive in spite of them. A mother's love is irreplaceable, which makes losing her to death an incredibly painful experience. While sons and daughters of all ages carry within their hearts a dull and lasting ache where they once felt love and security, it is important they continue searching for the happiness their mother always desired for them.

Every time I smile,
Every time I sigh,
I think of your face,
And a tear escapes my eye.
I am so sorry about your mother. My mother died when I was 11, too. She died from lung cancer. My dad was already dead, so I went to live with my sister, her husband, and my nephews. I am 15...

Mom,
The day you died I kissed your face four times.
After you died I held you close to me.
I knew it would be the last time I held you for the rest of my life.
My mom died in 2014. She had cancer. We fought the battle for almost 2 years. During the final 6 weeks of my mom's life she slept a lot, but the last 2 weeks my sister and I stayed next to...
When I lay there beside you,
Could you feel me there?
My arms were wrapped around you,
And I was stroking your hair.

Once upon a time an angel held my hand.
She wiped away my tears and helped me understand
Our time on Earth is brief; there are lessons to be learned.
Each precious day God gives us, another page is turned.
It will get better, I promise you, and there will come a day when you remember moments from your childhood with smiles and joy. I thank God every day for my mother even though she has crossed...
Sweet smile on your face as you sleep the pain away,
Resting in God's arms now, although in the ground your body lay.

I wish for nothing more
Than just one more day,
For I would give it all
Just to hear her say.
It's been 29 days since I lost my rock (mom). Sadness fills my heart. She's the only person I've ever known to be a strong, hard working woman who had very little but gave us the world. Never...

I awake each morning to start a new day,
But the pain of losing you never goes away.
I go about the things I have to do,
And as the hours pass I think again of you.
My darling mother passed away in Whiting, Indiana, at the age of 71. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. I have read your poems and shared them with my siblings. It was very comforting....
A face that is always on my mind,
A smile I have seen a million times.
Two eyes that would light up the sky at night,
One last battle you could not fight.
I loved your poem soo much. I lost my mom to cancer on December 27, 2015. It's been 13 months without her. The pain is unbearable. It's killing me every moment. I want to talk to her. Want to...
Though it's been years now
since you were taken away,
the memories are still strong,
and I wish you were here today.
