Mommy Misses You
Mommy misses you, my dear,
With each tick of the clock here.
Coffee cold, morning breaks,
Echoes of the laughter we make.
Chairs sit empty, plates untouched,
Rooms too quiet, your presence much.
Glimpses of your smile in my dreams,
Sunlight duller than it seems.
Shadows stretch, seeking you,
In corners where our giggles flew.
Bedtime stories now unread,
Your pillow empty beside my bed.
Toys gather dust, idle, still,
Gardens miss your little thrill.
Mommy's heart feels split in two,
Every part aching just for you.
Each day passes, slow, so slow,
In each small thing, your absence shows.
Mommy holds tight to your memory’s view,
Every moment, Mommy misses you.
