Three Years
Mom, I still love and miss you so,
Since God took you away.
I can’t believe it’s been three years.
I don’t know what to say.
My eyes still fill with tears sometimes;
My heart contracts with pain.
I want to come and visit you
Or call and talk again.
I see some trinket you would love
And start to reach for it,
Imagining your sweet delight,
And then, the mem’ries hit.
I know that you’re with Jesus now,
A so much better place,
And yet, I still wish you were here
And we could still embrace.
I love you, Mom. I miss you so.
And I cry for you, still.
But when I do, I try to say,
I know it was His will.
I can’t say that I like it, but
I know you’d just say, “Hon,
God is the Lord, no matter what.
So say, ‘Thy will be done.'”

Feel free to print, share or repost anything on this blog. I do ask that you let me know if you use one of my poems on your blog or at your church somehow. It might give me an idea of better ways to spread His words, which I am always looking to do. And of course, always keep the copyright symbol and my name with the poem so I continue to have the right to use them. You may not realize that if something is posted enough times without the copyright notice, I could lose the copyright and then someone else could conceivably file for a copyright and I would no longer be able to use my own poems! It has happened, so please make sure the (c) is always on the poem whenever you repost. Thanks!
God bless,

Yes, it is hard to believe that this had been three years. She was loved by many.
Loved and greatly missed.
Denise,
This beautiful poem really hit home, as I lost my mother 3 years ago in July. Thank you for sharing!

It is still so hard sometimes. No matter how old we are, we still need our mothers. If you would like, you can go back on the 1st & 2nd anniversaries to read what I wrote then. I also posted some poems a few days after she died. I hope they minister to you as well. I will pray for God to comfort us both, today. God bless you!
