Seventeen years of my existence,
Have had a downfall experience,
Piece of my heart went missing,
Wailing in pain, I kept listening.
She handled me at my worst,
Made me feel her love at any cost,
She guided me at my best,
In her arms I felt safest.
The reality was dire,
For death took her life,
"Mom", it stole that word forever,
Calling her became for never.
She gave me the greatest gift,
Purest love and faith I'll always keep,
Having her was worthwhile,
It was a love afire.
I always love her,
And now I will always miss her.
I will never forget her,
For she is my mom forever.
