My Mom Poem by Jose' Taylor

It was the 25th of March in 1992 that you gave me life,
So as the days past, you would hold me tight in your arms
But the day they took me away from you, it was like a knife in my heart.
Once I went into the system every family didn't feel warm without you
But I wasn't alone, I had my little sister along my side
As the years went on, we heard less and less of you
But I knew that you were still looking too
As the years went on, my other siblings came along
On our birthdays, we wanted you to see how much we all have grown
On my 18th birthday i cried because you still hadn't found us.
That was because you died when I was 17
As the years went on, I kept you in my memories
Now that your gone we can't have our mother/son time
But I'm glad I'm your child, I'm the dime of your eye
I used to cry to make you come back, but God told me
That he has you right next to him to watch me
So as I dry my tears, and wipe off my face
I'm happy to know that I will meet you again in God's Place
