Mother

How much I miss you
Youll never know how sad
When you left me I couldnt hold you
How I wish youll come back
Now beyond the clouds
In heaven watching me
Your brilliant eyes and rosy cheeks
Widely smiling face comforting me
You taught me to be a painter
I painted my life the way I wanted to be
A portrait of what I wanted you to see
Now I understand the legacy youve left
Way back holding my hands just for a while
You knew youll set me free for my own
But you loving care keep holding my heart
2. Every single day crying to see you
Now you see my painting on Mothers Day
Not perfect but thats the way it came to be
Though I tried to reflect your love to me
Now I understand I cant ever match.
