God Has You Now Mom Poem by Linda I. Weischedel

If by chance, under a totally different circumstance
you could be here,
If I came to you crying, telling you my heart was aching,
Mom it really feels as if it's breaking,
I can see it now....
my hand you would taking, wiping the tears from my eyes,
saying Linda, honey, try not to cry,
you'd console me and do your best to give the answers
to my questions, also telling me
how this had happened and why.
Mom, right now my heart is aching,
but it just don't feel,
Momma since you had to go away it's been breaking!
I know the family loves me,
and in their own ways they truly do care,
though there is nothing they or anyone can say or even share,
to help me shake this feeling of emptiness and despair,
and now that God has you,
my life and it's existence tend to be bleek and so very bare,
Momma-Rufus,
in my mind I can see you sitting in your
favorite chair,
yet when I visit the house, reality strikes
because
I can no longer 'physically' see you sitting there.
