Happy Birthday, Mom - Part V

You were a mother who was both special and divine.

If you hadn't died, today you would've turned sixty-nine.

I would give anything if you were still here.

Everybody loved you because you were a dear.

You died over four years ago and it was the worst thing I've ever been through.

When they said you'd die, I felt helpless because there was nothing I could do.

The day before you died, "I Love You" were the three words that I said.

When I saw you lying motionless, it was sad because I knew you were dead.

The doctors couldn't save you after you became ill.

It took two years for this heart of mine to start to heal.

I still miss you and I have something to say.

I'll always love you Mom, Happy Birthday.
