For Mom

Laughter pulls your heart and lines your face,

Your hair’s a mane of gold and waves,

Specks of mica fleck your eyes, as they reflect your joy,

These are my memories that cancer can’t destroy.

Your spirit is full of light and fire,

Burning through the darkness of cancer’s mire,

Your body battled, but had to succumb,

Still your soul shines bright, and a shining star it’s become.

You are not lost, just starting anew,

As we all ache and long for you,

Our hearts feel pierced, and our spirits are low,

But you have your eyes on us all, our struggle you know.

Your wings stretch across the galaxy,

Your body became a prison, until your soul broke free,

Now you soar among the stars,

When they twinkle, that’s how we’ll know where you are.

You were a daughter, sister, mother, partner, wife,

It’s hard to admit that you’ve moved on from this life,

But we all know this is how it must be,

You’ll always be a part of her, him, me… we.

As you loved us, we’ll continue to love you,

As you smiled, we’ll continue to smile too,

We are grateful to have had your love,

In fact, we still have it, we feel it when the sun shines

down on us from above.
