You came into my life one August day,

“My beautiful daughter,” was all I could say.

With hair of dark brown; eyes of blue,

Immediately, I was in love with you.

 

They took you from me, way too soon,

I was left, with such sadness and gloom.

But we stayed in each other’s heart,

From there, we will never have to part.

 

They couldn’t take our love away,

Although with me you didn’t stay.

They have you still, that is true,

But they can never, stop my love for you.

 

I miss you, I know you miss me too,

I hope one day, to again be with you.

I know the lies, they must be telling you,

Don’t believe them, they’re not true.

 

They do not know the real me,

The person they wouldn’t allow me to be.

I am forever your mother,

There can never be another.

 

If you ever need me, I’ll be there,

Each night I say a Prayer.

That soon, you will be with me,

Together, forever, the way it was meant to be.

 

I must close now, but always know,

My love is with you, wherever you go.

 

For My Daughter, Vicky

with all my love, Mom
