spirit of a mother

The tears are pouring so naturally

as bird soar the skies

shivers run along my skin

as the thought of you crosses my mind

this life has become something different

now I have one less person in it

and yet you are still here

no matter where in life i look 

i see your influences

and i fight not to cringe

but hold my head up

and carry on

you were so beautiful

your voice is in my head

every morning so soft and gentle

my eyes open with high hopes

to only see you are not really there

but that is alright

because i know it came from the spirit

the spirit of a mother
