Misker's Den Reflections

I lost my dear Mother on August 15th 1986. To this day, even though I am 47 years old, I miss her more then I can say. She was my best friend and my mentor. She loved me through everything good and bad. Her support was unsurmountable. I can only hope my daughters will love me half as much as I loved and respected her. The following is a dedication I wrote to her a few years back. (I revised this a bit recently and gave it to a dear friend of mine who had lost his daughter) To everyone reading this who has lost your Mother my heart reaches out to you.

I Can't Believe You're Gone

I still find it hard to accept
That you have gone away
I find myself waiting
To hear from you each day

My heart is torn a thousand ways
And as I look upon your face
I know there's nothing I'd not give
To feel your warm embrace

There's nights I lay awake and cry
I can't believe you're gone
I miss you so very much
Since God has called you home

There's times I needed to share with you
The changes in my life
The mountains and the success
I've had as mother and wife

Sometimes the emptiness inside me
Can be filled by no one other
Then the total love and understanding
Of you my darling Mother

And when the tears are over
And my thoughts go on their way
I know that in the time to come
I'll be with you again one day.
