"Too Soon"

The moment that you died my heart was tore in two. One side filled with heartache, and the other died with you. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day. But missing you is a pain that nothing can take away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Until the day arrives, that we meet again. I love you momma!
