A LETTER TO MOM

A letter to mom

Mom, there are so many things that I want to say, things I hope you that you already know. Did you know that you were not only my mother, but my best friend. Did you know that you are the one who taught me to love with all my heart, and that love has no end? Did you know that without you in my life I often wonder where I would have been?. Would I be the woman I am today if God had not sent you to care for me through all that my life has been? See I know that it was your love for God and your constant prayer that helped me survive. With that said, did you know I knew it just wasn’t medical doctors keeping me alive? You were a wonderful mom and grandmother, and you loved us all in such an unconditional way. You went out of your way to show us all each and every day.

I admired everything about you from your beautiful smile and your compassionate ways. You always saw the good in others and could seem to feel there pain. You were the first to want to help someone and the last to ask for help for you. And you never minded teaching us all that you knew. You were a business Diva, as everybody knows. But most importantly, you are the strongest woman I know. I say know because your spirit will be with us and always live on. That is what I will try to remember every time I go to sing a sad song. I see you and granddad in all of us, in our faces, in our mannerisms and in our ways. You have left a legacy behind that will never die with the passing of the days.

I will miss our talks, hugging you, calling you and all of your wise advice and I will dread the fact that you will not be here physically, to see Symphony throughout her life. But I will stay strong and do all that I believe you would have me to do. You have raised me well and I hope I am half as strong and half as great as you. We will cherish you mom, we were blessed to have you, you are our mom, a grandma, a wife, an aunt, a sister, and a true friend. Today this celebration of your life only says that you will suffer no more, not that your life has come to an end. So what I am saying mom is, we will be looking for you to pass by and check in on us every now and then.

I love you Mom

till we meet again

till we meet again..

 

It's so hard being away.
Wondering what you are doing,
Wondering what you would say.

Wishing I could hold your hand,
Wishing I could touch your face.
I never thought you'd be off limits to me,
Never thought I wouldn't be able to share you space.
I think of the great times we shared,
I think about our special place.

I wonder if things had been done differently
If we our lives have took on a different fate.
Would the love we shared seem like such a waste?

Would we be together today or were we just
Supposed to teach other how to love.
Still it’s hard to tell whether your we’re supposed
To be my mitten or my glove.

Even though we're not together,
even though I can't reach you,
or tell you how i feel, If you never know anything else,
know that I will always love you and that our love was real.

Till we meet again...

i wish i would have

i wish i would have (an original poem by DeAngela "Poetry" Taylor 5/6/11)

i wish i would have told you years ago that i loved you, i wish i would have told you years ago how much i cared.

 instead i sat back and watched you with all the others, pretending that my love for you wasn't there.   

i wish i could go back to the last time i saw you, i would have told you to hold me and never let me go.

  i wish i could have shared with you my feelings but i have always been to scared to let them show.

i have always been so scared that i could lose you ,that our friendship would not be strong enough to survive.

Now that i have had the nerve to finally tell you, now that you finally told me that you have loved me too. 

I wish that I'd have told you when we were younger, cause then i could have spent my whole life loving you.

I sit and i cry but no tears run down my face. 
I sit and i cry and never leave a trace. 
I sit and i cry, but there is a smile upon my face.
I sit and i cry when everyone around me is happy.
 i sit and i cry but no one can see. 
i sit and i cry cause no one can take your place.
