Now that you've gone ...

Lost are my emotions

Numb is my heart

Devoid of my passions

Looking to restart

In search of direction

Though the void is clear

No way to fill my heart

Of what was once there

In my heart forever

My memories all aglow

Bringing smiles and tears

As my love shows

Nothing can replace you

Though life goes on

Just cherish the memories 

And live life strong

Show how you raised me

With persistence and strength 

Share with kindness and gratitude 

Your love won't fade

 ... forever in our hearts

WWIII 

mom

No matter the circumstance

 How well you prepared

Nothing can compare to the day that has brought you here

Mom I will miss you

From this day forth

Your smile, your care

Your nagging voice

I will also cherish you

Like I always have

I will hold you in my heart

With the memories good and bad

Im sorry I was a burden

How I made you worry so

I hope it was worth it

As you watched me grow

I hope I grew up to be 

The person you help mold

I hope you are proud of me

The person you all know

I was raise with your warmth, your care and sow

It has made me the man

With your strength I grow

Your love will always be with me

And I will share it in kind

I am the person you raised me to be

Through your love I shine

This is an end to your journey

Though it continues in other ways

 I can see in our family

Things you've taught us shines everyday

Love you ma
