To my dearest mother,
I can only wonder what you were truly like
So many years I cried
So many tears fell
From my eyes for you
Longed, how I longed
To know you
To know the real you
You've lived in stories in my mind
And heart since I was but a child
But never does a story do justice
To a person's innermost truths
Ten years I mourned
Unwilling to move on
Unwilling to let others move on
Stuck in place
Frozen, in that awkward state
Of being without you
My childhood empty
My memories empty
My life empty of you
So many years it took
So many years before I saw
Before I realized this wondrous truth
You live in the air
You live in the water
You live in the sunlight
You live in the earth
You live in my heart
You live in every cell of my body
You live in every star in the sky
And you live without end in the space of the cosmos
With death, you've become eternal
And now I do not cry
For I know now
That you are always with me
