I Wish.....

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Jun 01, 2017

"I wish that I could see you mum, for just a little while,
I wish that I could hug you mum, and see your lovely smile.
I want to put my arms around you mum, and pull you close to me,
Oh mum, I really miss you, oh why did it have to be?
I'm always thinking of you mum, your laugh made me laugh too,
but I wish that I could've told you mum, how much I did love you."

Many times we don't get to say these things or take the time to say them. Then we spend times wishing we did when it is too late. But we can write them a beautiful poem and keep them in our hearts. My mom was lost in Alzheimer's and didn't know me when I was telling her that I loved her. Thankfully, she is a peace now. Take care. Janet

All I can say is that you must have been very close to her or she was very loving as a mother and has left a massive imprint on your soul to this day........and again like you...I know the love of a beautiful attentive and caring mother also which makes it so much harder to cope with the loss........poem reflects your memories brillantly...remembering forever is loving forever x

When you look in the mirror at yourself,smile and see that your mom is smiling back at you in the likeness that she gave you of hers in genes and in spirit...She is always with you..Kindly be blessed and well.

Exquisitively poignant words with a touching ending, bringing tears to my eyes. You made not have said the words, but she knew what was in your heart Frank, mothers always do!

All these things I have thought and written as well, since my mum left this earth in 2006. Never a day goes by that I don't miss her. Had many, many dreams about her. This speaks to my soul.
