Mother R.I.P. Poem by JJ Evendon

I know you can hear me mother,
I know you can hear us all
for there's no reason why you can't hear us,
As grief pours from our hearts and souls.
Walk tall mother, so that you can see heaven's view,
where you'll rest happily forever amongst people you once knew.
Though you have left many friends and loved ones behind,
It's true that we loved you as much as you loved us you'll find.
Go in peace Mother, for your spirit remains our guiding light,
there for us, whenever needed, day or night.
Rest mother, for you have given us life's amazing prize,
now it's up to us to make you feel proud before we join you when we die.
Your childrens' childrens' children will always hold fond memories of you
of your humour and laughter - all with a French accent too!
Do not grieve Mother, for though life has released your mortal soul
you have taken a journey over which none of us have any control.
Goodbye Mother, for the gates of heaven await to receive you
along with your mother, father and all those that loved you too
I know your spirit will always never be far
So Au revoir Mother, Au revoir!
