My precious Mum......Meggie Magpie. Soar high above the wings of every cloud............

Mamma
You gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady

Mamma
All you had to offer
Was the promise of a lifetime of love

Now I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child

And I know
A love so complete
Someday must leave
Must say goodbye

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

Mamma
You gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman

Mamma
All I ever needed
Was a guarantee of you loving me

'Cause I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child

And it hurts so
That something so strong
Someday will be gone, must say goodbye

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

But the love you gave me will always live
You'll always be there every time I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you 'til forever comes

And when you need me
I'll be there for you always
I'll be there your whole life through
I'll be there this I promise you, Mamma

Mamma, I'll be
I'll be your beacon through the darkest nights
I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight
I'll be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you 'till forever comes

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

'Till we meet again...
Until then...
Goodbye

Always and forever xxxxxxxxxxxx

So sorry Jane and Wend...........i was having one of those "Moments" that i really should have kept to myself.
It is not a poem Jane.............It is "Goodbyes" (The Saddest Word.)...........Celine Dion.
Sorry.......xxx

Prickles - as Jane says, it's a beautiful poem. You love your mum and I love mine, even if she isn't here in person. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out and I remember that to-day especially xxx

No need to say sorry PH. They are lovely words.
I left my Mum in hospital after spending the weekend there.As I left the ward with my daughter and sister we looked back and Mum gave a little wave over the top of the sheet.That was Mums farewell.I drove 7 hours home to be met at the front door by my OH to say he had just had a call from the hospital to say Mum had passed away.She died not long after her little wave.
I still 'fill up' every time I think about that.
But on a positive note she was ready to go,and it was a relief for me to know she suffered no longer with Dementia.Mum and Dad adopted me when I was a baby.I would not be the person I am if they had not done that amazing thing for me.I am so grateful.
