“Seeing you draped in white

My heart breaks, hope out of sight.

Mom you left too soon

I hadn't loved you enough.

Our relationship was never ideal

Our journey very tough.

My love for you hasn't died

So I will not entomb its heart.

I'll let it manifest in things

Let this be a new start.

As you leave today

Let me cry, let me say

My mom was my hero.

Leading me to right

Forgiving and loving

A star so bright.

So I lose today

My support, my light.

My dear Mom.

Making my life bright.

Losing my mom, I lost myself today

In darkness so deep

I try to find light, just a ray

Just enough to hold on

Hold on to life.

The final goodbye said

They bury her - before my eyes.”- by Aneela Ahmed
