I know you seek a brighter day
That doesn't remind you of me
That ends in smiles of our memories
A smile I'd like to see
I know that you are missing me
Feeling this truly is the end
You say you can't live without me
But, honey, your heart will mend
I know that you are changing now
Causing others much concern
Sweetie, it's okay, I do love you
But you need to know it was my turn
I know that I am fading
But it’s truly for the best
I'll still always be here
But not in person like the rest
I know that you have lost your faith
But, baby, don't stop praying
Better days are coming soon
With endings less betraying
I know you know I'm here with you
And someday you’ll be here with me
But for now remember that I love you
And that a mother’s love is eternity
Author notes
I dedicate this poem to any children who have lost family members and would like to see them one last time.

Yes, nicely done. I've just read you're very young and ... well, when I was a sixteen yrs old good fellow I was not writing as well as you do. Congratulations on your beautiful poem, bye

Gentle and sweet!
This poem gently explains why the mother can't physically be there for the child. Concrete ideas, nicely done!

It's a hard thing to go through when you lose a parent. I can hear her whispering your words from above, great take on the prompt. Thank you for entering the contest, good luck.
