For Mum
A year has gone, yet, we go on,
Though sadness still remains,
We know that you’re now at your rest, hoped sweet your long repose,
We forge ahead, with thoughts of you,
But time has no delays,
Bereft, now we're left with memories of lineage and praise.
We miss you, yes, of course we do,
Though you remain so near,
Safe with those souls who left before, for life so quickly goes,
Your face, your voice; spirit unbowed,
Your presence will persist,
Those thoughts are always with us now and often reminisced
