Your guiding hand has slipped away
The one that fed me when I was hungry
The one that touched my forehead when I had a fever
The one that held it in her hand when I felt so scared inside
The one that offered salvation when the world became chaotic
The one that cradled me when my heart was broken
I feel so lost without you but I know your guiding light shines in my heart each day. While I know that you do not want me to grieve.
I raise my hands to heaven and pray that you watch over me and turn my tears of sorrow into laughter. It hurts to let you go but I know in my heart you would not want my pain to grow.
You showed me inspiration, to love and not to judge, to nuture and not to abandon.
Today and for the rest of my life you will be with me and while God has taken you as one of his angels I know the day will come when your shining star will light up my life and take away the darkness in my heart today.
I was lucky to have a mother like you and now god has a new angel. I may not be ready now but the day will come where I have to leave you to God to protect, nuture, and make your light shine bright each day. Just as you did each day of my life.
Thank you mother my friend, my shining star, my angel of hope I will always love you each day that remains of my life and pray for the day we meet again. Tonight I will look to the stars and will thank you for the life you gave me.
Forever and always you will be in my heart.
