Dear Mom, My poem to you.
Words left unspoken
Never said
Fear kept them frozen
There in my head
For if I'd said them
would make them true
Just can't imagine
My life without you
And so they stayed there
Through out the years
And months I had you
In frozen tears
That shed so freely
Once you were gone
Why did I hold them
For oh so long?
Because you knew them
No need to start
Those words unspoken
Are in our hearts
Love and miss you Mom,
Diana
