I know you miss me Mamma

I see it in your tears

The way you toss and turn each night

just wishing I was near

As Mothers Day approaches

I just want you to know

That I am never far away

I hear your every moan

The pain you've kept inside

That most Mom's couldn't bear

The way you cover sadness

Beneath a laughing face

The mask I wore I gave to you

You wear it oh so well

But Mamma take a moment

and find the Mom I knew

For I didn't really leave you

We'll be together soon

Until that day has dawned on us

Just please take care of you

This Mothers Day I wish for you

From my new Heavenly throne

A little peace and comfort

some laughter for your heart

Some courage to move forward

To live your life again

But most of all Dear Mamma

I wish with all my heart

to take away your sadness

to mend your broken heart

I know you loved me Mamma

and that you always will

I send my love right back to you

In oh so many ways

Please take a look around you

Take a moment to unwind

you'll see me there beside you

the place where I belong

Some day we'll be together

Where sadness isn't found

Where love is so abundant

and laughter fills the air

I'm waiting for you Mamma

so please just take your time

Live life to it's fullest

put a smile upon your face

And when you miss me Mamma

Just know that I am here

Today is your birthday

but you are not here

you left nine months ago

bringing alot of tears

We'll remember the things

that made you glad

And cherish the memories

that we all have

You will never be forgotten

We hold you in our hearts

For someday.....

we will no longer be apart

You are still very loved

and will always be missed

Looking down from above

to help us through this

What You Taught Me
My mom woke me that nite and
said watch your brothers i will be
back i thought ok no big deal...
little did i know it was bad!

i woke up to my dad to whom i have
never in all of my 12 years have i
seen him cry... let me tell you he
did that day and for that whole week.

things went through my head that morning
that never have crossed my mind my mom
gave me a ride to school and told me
what happened... the real truth

wow i suddenly faced something i never
have before. You looked to happy to full
of joy. I wished I could have helped!
I would have done anything!!!

It came thursday night the night I
would believe it. I had conformation later
that night... guess what the lesson was on
SUISIDE...wow memories, thoughts everything
I had seen you do. Matt you were my counting
buddy on those days we took that enduro car

You taught me so much.. much that i will
cherish and learn from.. but right now i
will say I miss you buddy... If there is
a day there is not a song in my head this
one comes to mind "You're Gone".
