1) Dear mom…
I still remember
The sound of your last breath
I can still hear words that
You said just before your death
I can still feel your hands
Entangled warmly in mine
I can still envision your smile
Faint but still so fine
Although I do remember
The last promise I made to you
Stopping my flow of tears
I haven’t been able to
I miss you
2) When I was a teenager I always thought
That hanging out with you was so not cool
Sometimes I’d be embarrassed when you
Came to pick me up from school
I look back at those times and think
How silly I was to have refuted
The love of a mother, so caring
Whose sacrifices can never be disputed
Life has its own harsh way of teaching lessons
I guess it was meant to be this way
I am crying for your hugs now that you’re gone
Mom, I will miss you till my dying days
3) The grief is inexplicable
The loss feels unbearable
The bereavement seems never-ending
The lament seems to do nothing
The pain is strong and relentless
The hurt has rendered me helpless
The damage done is permanent
Your death was my life’s worst moment
I miss you mom
4) While I was caught up trying to manage
All the wrong priorities in life
I overlooked how the nasty disease
Had taken over yours, causing endless strife
A false assurance, I used to give myself
That you were being card for
Even visiting you in hospital
Sometimes I thought of it as a chore
But now that you are gone, I realize
How foolish I have been
Mom, I am dying in guilt and regret
I hope you can forgive my sins
I miss you
5) I wish I could turn back time
Not just by years, but decades
Right to the time I was a teenager
When you used to whine about my grades
I would do a lot of things differently
I would never have shown disrespect
I wouldn’t have tried to ignore you
I would have heeded your advice, so perfect
Mom, I know it is too late to say
All these things now
But I hope you are listening to all this
From the heavens above
I miss you
6) Mom…
Every day is the same for me
Filled with nightmares and reverie
When I dream of you by my side
Stroking my head with a smile so wide
Sweat, palpitations and fear
Engulf me and start to creep near
Reminding me of all those days
Spent amidst your loving ways
As the night descends once more
I start shivering from my very core
For I know that it will bring
Memories that will make me wring
I miss you
7) Dear mom…
You don’t exist in this world anymore
But you always will, in my memory
You are not present in the house anymore
But in my heart, you will always be
You are not there to wish me goodnight
But from the Heavens, I know you’ll say
You will make sure I’m never lonely
Watching me from above every day
Even though your existence
Is now personified by a gravestone
I know that if your love is with me
I will never feel alone
I miss you
8) I take my own decisions
I do what I think is right
I use my discretion to act
I wade through my plight
But every time I do something
I think about how it would be
If you were there in my life
To advice me and to oversee
Mom, I send you lots of love
Wherever you are
You have been immortalized
By being the sky’s brightest star
I miss you
9) I can’t cope up with the loss
It is too cruel for me to bear
So I am writing this poem
To lay my heart bare
My mom wasn’t just my mother
She was my best friend
She was my guardian angel
Oh, why did this have to end
She was my real support
She was my heart’s beat
Nothing and no one can be
Like her, so caring and so sweet
Her absence from my life
Has changed me as a person
Just like how a morning would be
Without the rays of the sun
I miss you
10) Like a knife
That twists and turns
Like a matchstick
That powerfully burns
Like a blade
That cuts deep and hard
Like a gash
Made by a glass shard
My heart has borne
Pains of all kind
After you died, mom
And left me behind
Miss you
11) You always fulfilled my wishes
Giving me whatever I wanted
Your presence in my life
I had taken for granted
After your death my whole world
Has gone into a frightening void
When I had you, I had it all
Now, everything is destroyed
This is my repentance, my regret
I know you can’t hear me
But I still want to say
Mom, I miss you and I’m sorry
12) Dear mom…
As I ponder over my morning coffee
I find it hard to hold back the tears
I wish we could have been together more
But time flew by so quickly, year after year
The guilt is going to crush me to pieces
Forever, I will hold regret in my heart
There is no one else to blame but me
Why we had to be for so long, apart
After your death, it will be a lifelong struggle
In the abyss of sadness, as I take a dive
Now all I have are a handful of memories
Which will be my lifeline as I try to survive
I miss you
13) Does anyone feel my plight
Is anyone listening to me
Does anyone even care
My pain, can anyone see
I miss my mom, I really miss her
I can’t stop the tears
I wish I could turn back time
By only a few years
To be cuddled by her again
To see her laugh and smile
To have her fuss over me
To make my life worthwhile
Mom, if you are listening
I want you to see how much
I am missing you
And your motherly touch
14) I leave the house every day
After looking at my mum’s picture
That’s not the same as getting
A real hug from her
Losing a mother is not easy
But many kids don’t know this
Those who can experience her love
Live in pure bliss
Mom, even though since your death
It has been many years
Whenever I think if you
It still brings me to tears
15) You suffered the wrath of the disease
Day after day, you endured pain
You experience life’s worst lows
You put up with trauma, again and again
But even while doing all this
You had a smile on your beautiful place
The heavens may have taken you away
But your spirit, nothing can erase
Even though you are not here
You live among us, even today
Mom, we feel your love’s warmth
Through the sun’s rays
We miss you
16) Mom…
I still can’t believe
That you are gone forever
Even if I have to believe
I will choose to, never
I can’t believe how death
Can be so untimely
Coming to a person
Most undeservedly
I am sad because
I feel totally helpless
That death took away
The source of my happiness
I miss you
17) I hate everything that
Life has to offer
I hate that the reason
For your death was cancer
I abhor the fact
That I simply could not
Control any of this
Even if I tried a lot
If only I could put life
Back in reverse
And turn around, this
Horribly painful curse
But that is a useless thought
That I can just cherish
For I know I can do nothing
No matter how much I wish
I miss you
18) Dear mom…
I gather all my strength
I pool in all my might
I collect my composure
To pass day and night
I have to put in this much
Energy every single day
To convince myself
To live without you this way
I miss you
19) When I thought that the worst
In my life was over
And hoped that in store
Was a good future
You died unexpectedly
Leaving me crushed and battered
I tried to come out of it
But I was too tattered
Until today I haven’t emerged
Out of the grief of your loss
Although I am breathing each day
My life has gone for a toss
I miss you
20) At my mother’s funeral
I never really said goodbye
To come back into my life
I thought that she would try
It took me a long time
To accept that she was no more
It made me mad at everything
And it turned me sore
But after I came to terms
With the fact that she was gone
I decided that I wouldn’t
Be depressed or forlorn
I would do all those things
That would make her happy
For this is the only way
To let her soul rest peacefully
I miss you mom
21) Mom, for every time I have let you down
For every time I made you frown
I know it is too late for an apology
But as I silently weep, I want to say sorry
Like a fool I never realized the value
Of having a loving mother like you
I know you wanted me to be my best
I realize you wanted me to outshine the rest
I promise to be the best person I can be
I promise to be the winner that you saw in me
It won’t go in vain, it won’t escape your eyes
I know you will be watching on me from the skies
I miss you
22) I never expected to encounter
The stark realities of life
In a way which would
Leave me with so much strife
I knew much about death
And that life is fickle
But I didn’t know that it would
Make me feel so horrible
Mom, after you passed away
I came to realize
That in my life you were, nothing
Less than God’s bestowed prize
I miss you
23) I hate death not because
It eventually comes to everyone
But because it took away
My most favorite person
Amongst all the people that
I could never live without
It took away the most precious
And showed me its clout
I will always hate death
For making me motherless
Now every day of my life
Is spent in pain and distress
I miss you mom
24) Mom…
I wish I could get
That one last hug again
I wish with you, I could
Talk away my pain
I wish I could meet you
If only for a little while
Just thinking about hearing
Your voice, makes me smile
I miss you
25) Dear mom…
The flow of your memories
Just doesn’t cease
From your thoughts, I don’t know
How to find a release
No matter where I go
Or whatever I do
In some way, I am
Always reminded of you
I wish that there was a way
For you to magically appear
I would give anything to have
You beside me, right here
I miss you
