Oh Mummy, My Mummy

I touch your tears,
Invisible fingers soothing your skin.
I know you think of me often in the day,
In the night and in your dreams.

Going into an empty nursery,
Knowing that I will never be there.
But I am... in your heart, in your soul,
I shall always be.

For you gave so unselfishly of yourself.
Inside of you, you created such a world for me,
A world of laughter, of love,
Of sadness and of sorrow.

Every emotion people come to know,
you shared it all with me.
And even though I never felt your arms around me,
I felt your heart beating, like a lullaby,
singing me to sleep.

And your spirit giving me a safe haven,
Already protecting me, nurturing me,
Preparing me for things to come.

But sometimes the journey of life pulls souls apart
And yes, I had to go on to another place.
I wish I could stay, as I know you wish Mummy.
I wish this was a decision I could make
And I know you do too.

Know this whereever you are;
I will always remember that yours was the first love,
The first joy, the first sound I will ever know.
You gave me the courage to go on in my journey.

I hope I can do the same for you Mummy.
I Love You Mummy.
Love From Matthew.
