A poem for Mam: Hard working mother, caring daughter, loving wife Your presence enriched everyone's life So genuine and kind, you saw good in everyone Courageous to the end, you were such an inspiration With your big brown eyes and radiant smile Even through your illness your beauty stood out a mile! Photographs of you bring me joy and pain Mixed emotions, but my memories of you will always remain Losing you was so unfair There can’t be any God out there I know you wouldn't want me to feel bitter, but I feel so cheated Such a struggle for you and Dad, then finally defeated Dad said he believed his love could get you through Pain in my heart because I didn't get to see you One moment I am fine, then suddenly I'm in tears Keeping busy and distracted, but for how many years Should I block out the hurt or embrace the sorrow? What will make me feel better tomorrow? I'll try to be brave like you'd want me to be And live my life so you'd be proud of me So if your watching from above I'm so grateful you were my Mam, and I send you all my love! Miss you Mam, Love from Kerry xx
