Love

Liefde is geven met open hand
Liefde is delen met een warm hart
Liefde is het laten van een traan, het tonen van een lach
Liefde is open, een vooruitzicht naar de trotsheid die straalt
Kortom, liefde is de hechte gesloten band waarin je pijn voelt, rust vindt en de mooie herrineringen achterlaat

(Dutch version) the original

Love is giving with open hand
Love is sharing with a warm heart
Love is letting go of a tear, the showing of a smile
Love is open, a prospect towards the proudness that shines
Basically, love is the close bond you've were you feel pain, find peace and leave the beautiful memories behind

(English version) translated

This is the short poem I wrote for my deceased mom on her death card, after that I also read a letter I wrote for her that was like 3 to 4 pages long. After that we scattered her ashes near a tree at a nearby cemetery in the city where she used to live.

For those who wish to know, my mother had been dealing with an addiction for 15 years of medication usage. She was 48 years old but looked like she was twice the age, her brain was damaged, she could barely stand up so we used a wheelchair, she slept like 18 hours a day and she had 5 children who all had problems with her due to her lying and her not wanting to save herself, no matter the help we gave her (theraphy, rehab, counseling, ..) She died 6 days after my 31th birthday, she had committed suicide by drug overdose (10x the amount of pills she was allowed to take from the doctors), she died on my sisters birthday after sending me and my sister a happy birthday. She was a very lonely person and carried a lot of guilt with her which at the end consumed her.
So please people if you struggle with something find help, call friends, travel around the world or set your mind towards a goal. To die so young and to see how many people die of suicide these days is absurd. Life will always be hard, just be harder.. good things will come to you 
Because even if we the people around you can't always understand your pain or struggles, after you die you also can't see the pain you inflict to the ones you leave behind. (took me a whole year to get over this passing, and I saw my mother like 1 or 2 times a year)

Don't let media or a single person decide your faith and purpose in life, you live your OWN life!
1 short life as it already is, don't make it even shorter...

Sincere
Roy
