somewhat introspective feelings of loss and disbelief.
It's been six months since Mom's been gone.
Such a short time that seems so long.
Can't believe that half a year has gone by,
slightly amazed how easy I cry.
Almost Christmas,my happiness dulled
the usual merriment, void and null.
Faking a smile, not hard to do,
hiding the pain, just to get through.
Keep plodding along with my daily grind,
telling them all that I am just fine.
Hiding the truth from grandchildren and friends,
Hiding the truth from my husband and kids,
Almost Christmas, my happiness dulled
the usual merriment, void and null.
Pretending happiness, God's saving grace
living each day without her smiling face
Tomorrow is a new day to pretend
tomorrow, maybe I'll start to mend.
It's been six months since Mom's been gone
Such a short time that seems so long.

I MISS YOU MOM!
