My Mama

You are that beautiful flower,
I'll never get to smell again.

Black,strong and proud

Not everyone's favourite

And you liked it like that

You liked having only a small number,
Understand your impact.

I got it.

But,I also got hooked

On your essence

And your Aura
And now,that you are gone

All I do is cry.
All I do is look at photos of you, and
Try remember your scent.

It haunts me.

The loss of memory.
Because,
It feels like,
I betray you,
By continuing to exist.

Just,come back.

I'll ask God,
To forgive this instance.
Just this once.
You are worth it

Just come back.

This was a beautiful tribute. I didn't know your mom had passed away, or was it your grandma. I don't understand why neo
made the comment it did. Your typos were not bad. To me it was fresh. I was much better than what I wrote. I still want to
co-author one with you!

I am sure...

that you will ferret out the slight mistakes of this post and I will not go into them. I lost my mom almost two years ago and it still is fresh. I'm sorry for your loss. ~ Geez.
