Birthdays
I could only wish for you to feel at peace
that was all you ever deserved
I can’t pretend this doesn’t come with a heavy sadness
you aren’t here with us
we don’t get to be loved by you and give you our love
No happy birthdays
or memories to make
I can’t hold your hand and thank you for being my mother, my auntie
The flowers I get will be in your memory
Today should be a day of celebration
well I guess
I still get to bring some joy to this day
in your name, for your kind soul.
Hi tm19x,
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful poem. Birthdays and other big moments can be very hard when you are grieving. I can hear you pain, and also your strength.
I hope writing helped, and remember that Nacoa is there for you.
Take good care,
Listener
I hope you found peace in writing this. Occasions like this can make us feel the loss even more. Writing down the words you feel can unload the heaviness of it all just a tiny bit.
Memories last forever x
Yeah memories do last and the love. Thank you x
Thank you for your message I appreciate it. My mum passed away 14 years ago but I know from my own experience that grief doesn't go away, it helps to know I carry my mum in my heart and my auntie too.
Beautiful poem, thank you for sharing.
Thanks it helped to share :)
