For so long, I was blessed to look into your eyes.

So, once your time came, it was still an unbelievable surprise.

The things we would give to have another day.

However, this isn’t possible so I must hold on to the memories of yesterday.

As hard as this time might be for everyone, I know your faith was too strong to be undone.

Your guidance helped to lead the way, so those who knew you could find a better way.

Even though you’ve departed this earth, your positive influence on me will never be reversed.

Because you always taught me right from wrong, it helped ensure that I grew mentally, physically, and spiritually strong.

Although I won’t see you every day, I know your spirit is here to stay.

As I try to move forward without your daily embraces that conveyed your love.

I only need to reflect about you and thank you while looking at the skies above.

It’s extremely sad that I’ll no longer see you on many days.

Yet, I know that your spirit has relocated to a better place that celebrates your Godly ways.

For now, I’ll thank the Lord above that I was blessed to have many years of your love.

Please rest in peace until we see each other again.

For the next part of your journey is ready to begin.

Until then, I’ll rejoice that I’m better because of the blessings from your heart.

So, mama, please sleep well during this time that we’re apart.
