~My Mom is a Survivor~

My Mom is a survivor,
Or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying
When all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night
And go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.
But like the sands upon the beach
That never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
Who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise.
But through heaven's open door
I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with my death
To keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her
Knows it's her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom
Through heaven's open door...
I try to tell her
Angels protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help her...
Or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, talk to her...
And show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...
No matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart,
That time won't ever heal.

She wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise

I know all about that-I'm the queen of "putting on a happy face".

Beautiful poem! Thank you for sharing that.

I have to agree. Som many people think I'm doing so well, dealing with my loss....if they only knew. And I am so sorry for your so very recent loss. My prayers are with you.

Thank you cowboysgirl.

It's been 2 weeks, and it's just now starting to hit me.

You are quite welcome. That poem seems to hit on some many points that are otherwise hard to explain. I give you all my prayers as we all grieve together.
