Goodbye Mom – by Aneela Ahmed
Seeing you draped in white
My heart breaks, hope out of sight.

Mom, you left too soon
I hadn’t loved you enough.
Our relationship was never ideal
Our journey was very tough.
My love for you hasn’t died
So, I will not entomb its heart.
I’ll let it manifest in things
Let this be a new start.

As you leave today
Let me cry, let me say
My mom was my hero.
Leading me to right
Forgiving and loving
A star so bright.
So, I lose today
My support, my light.
My dear Mom.
Making my life bright.

Losing my mom, I lost myself today
In darkness so deep
I try to find light, just a ray
Just enough to hold on
Hold on to life.

The final goodbye said
They bury her – before my eyes.
