To my mother who passed but didn't get a chance to meet,

Your absence is a void, a silent space
Where your laughter should have echoed, your touch felt,
But in the hush of the wind, in the whisper of the trees,
I sense your presence, a gentle melody.

I carry your memory like a precious gem,
A light that guides me through the darkness,
Though we never met, your spirit lives on,
In the beating of my heart, in the depth of my soul.

In the quiet moments, I feel your love,
A bond unbroken, a connection eternal,
You may be gone, but you are not forgotten,
My dear mother, forever missed, forever loved.

Happy Mother's Day
