I wasn't ready to let you go

a letter to my mom in heaven

At times like this, I just sit outside at night to watch the stars put on a show,
I sit here taking endless journeys down the memory lane.
There is no pain so great as the
memory of joy in present grief.
I was so young, barely could speak.
the world was cruel,I needed you most.
I remember, I held your hand as you silently whispered your last goodbye, A last breath as I watched you die.
I wasn't ready to let you go
Even though I'm told that it was your time.
I can't get that through my mind.
I wasn't ready to let you go.
I wish for nothing more
Than just one more day,
For I would give it all,
Just to hear your say.
To feel you close,
And be safe again,
mommy..
I wasn't ready to let you go.
