To My Mother...
I can still feel your Love,
Even though you've gone.
A mother's special Love,
Always lingers on.
You taught me so many things,
The list being endless.
You my dear Mother,
Really are the best.
The thing's you taught me,
I will forever cherish.
And all the talents you gave me,
I will never let perish.
The phone call i recieved telling me you died,
I still can't get out my mind.
I don't know what I seek?...
But I know you I'll never find.
You took a part of me to heaven,
And I will never forget you.
You were like no other,
And you Loved me so true.
You know the reason's,
Why I can't visit your grave.
But you know your memories,
I'll forever cherish and save.
Jamy'lah can remember you,
Even though she was so young.
I always tell her of you,
And the nursery rhymes to her you sung.
She can see with her own eyes,
The talents you gave me.
In fact everyone who comes round,
Says the talents are plain to see.
I have to Thank You dear Mother,
For giving me such a gift.
Your my Angel now,
Always there to give me a lift.
I LOVE U AND MISS U MS. ESSIE!
MY ROLE MODEL...
MY FRIEND...
MY MOTHER...
PLS GIVE MARK, AND GRANDMA CAT A HUG FROM ME AND JAMY'LAH. WE MISS U ALL SO MUCH...I KNOW YALL HAVING A BIG PARTY IN HEAVEN TODAY. A CELEBRATION OF ANOTHER ANGEL COMMING HOME!!!
LOVE ALWAYS,
MICHELLE
