She smiles through me.
She smiles through me,
but I fail to see her hand over my head has always been.
Her thoughts are like a feather, she is, my mother.
Can’t hold her by my thoughts, can’t tie her by my soul.
Time will be a healer; time only will be able to console.
Her thoughts are like a feather, she is, my mother.
Memories of her, shall always live within me.
Through my eyes, someday my child shall see,
she still smiles through me.
About this poem
I wrote my first poem in dedication for my mother. My mother was terminally ill and bedridden for a very log time, and I was 12 years old, but I knew I’m going to lose her. My words needed a place to express and rest forever, even after she was gone. I always loved to read and write, but she inspired me to express myself on paper. Even through all, she always smiled, and even though now, she's long gone, I hold her smile in mine, no matter what comes my way.
