In loving memory of Deborah Denise Smith. I love you and miss you every single day.
Sometimes I try to remain strong,
I hold back the tears,
Just trying not to show my sadness,
But sometimes, I give in.
My memories of you remain strong,
Mama,
And every day,
You are on my mind.
Night after night,
It gets better,
And I know that you are watching over us,
Mama.
But sometimes,
Silent tears slip down,
And I can't remain strong,
Mama.
I miss you,
And even though,
I know you are in heaven,
I just want you by my side.
I want you to hold my hand,
Smile your beautiful smile at me,
And to hear your laugh,
Feel the room.
Last night,
As I lay in bed,
I thought of you,
Of how much you loved us.
We all knew,
That we were your world,
Your precious children.
Mama,
Oh how I want to feel your warmth once more,
To be pulled into your loving embrace,
And to hear you say you love me one more time.
In my darkest days,
I look to the sky,
As the sun sets on me,
And I know that it is your way of telling me that you are with me.
Nothing no one says,
Will take this pain away,
But there is one thing I do know,
Mama.
I know,
That no matter what,
You are always watching over me,
And Deanna, Kendall, and Candace.
Like an ever-lasting dream,
Your presence remains,
Your smile, your laugh,
Your memory, you remain.
Mama,
I know,
That you are here with us, guiding us, protecting us.
I want you to know,
How much I love you,
I can't say it enough,
I love you Mama.
