“Mum”
Your laughter's ringing in my ears,
Your smile's etched on my face,
Your Loving ways are in my heart,
But you've left a hollow space.
Your laughter's ringing in my ears,
Your smile's etched on my face,
Your Loving ways are in my heart,
But you've left a hollow space.
I ran back home to find you,
But you'd just walked out the door,
I climbed the stairs to search for you,
Then my heart fell to the floor.
They told me, but it can't be true,
It must all be a wicked game,
At night and day my tears don't stop,
I'm screaming out your name.
Oh Mum, why did you have to go?
You wasn't supposed to yet,
I had so much more to show you,
You'd be proud of me, I bet.
I ran into the garden, Mum,
Saw your smile on a peaceful dove,
You left the house full of everything,
But, Mum, it's mostly Love.

WOW, Donnie, this is so beautiful!
and I know as much as you do how much our Mums meant to us and how much it still hurts not to have them around, in our everyday life. Love you lots, dearest friend! Muchos besos!!
Thank you Dearest Jeannie!
Even death cannot break that bond...
Muchos Besos my dearest friend!
of course nothing, not even death, can break that bond!!!
and the memories are the best to keep us close all the time! Muchos besos!
It's a beatiful poetry for your mom Donnie! I'm shure your mom is very proud of you wherever she is now.
I imagine how painful must be loose someone that we love, specially your mom. Don't cry or be sad. When you think of her always think all the good things she did and all the great time you too had togheter!
Abraços Irmao! :)
Hi Leo!
Thanks so much for your very kind words!!
I was very sad for many years and it is the hardest thing I have ever had to face in my life as we were so very close, but now even though it's very sad that I will never see her again, or get to have our wonderful chats and hear her advice, I smile when I think of her as she was so wonderful, loving and supportive! and I know that she is still always with me and still giving me her advice and guiding me through my life along the correct roads...
Abraços Irmão!
Brit, cheguei até aqui via "B@belturbo" e me surpreendi com o teor do texto!... Devo dizer que já estava habituado a ler seus comentários cheios de humor, como aquele "da porção de batatas-fritas", e, agora, me deparo com um post/poema carregado de emoções tão sérias, difíceis de conviver muitas vezes... Ao terminar de ler, na mesma hora, agradeci a Deus por me permitir ainda a presença física da minha mãe, que, felizmente, mora no mesmo bairro que eu! Deixo aqui meu respeito e solidariedade! Abraço, Sergio
Oi Sergio!

Sim, as vezes eu escreve assim aqui mas eu tb tem algumas posts mais feliz! rsrs faz uma pesquisa aqui no meus posts...
Quando eu escreveu aquela poesia foi em 1999 quando minha mãe falaceu, foi um tempão muito dificil pra mim e ficou muito tempo sozinho aqui no Brasil, então sempre escreveu poesias, historias e tal e me ajudei muito!
