Sad mama

Ever imagine

That one day

Expect it

But it slips by for some reason

Then you look back

Oh how things could have changed

You see all the days

You could be celebrating

It breaks your heart

You miss it even more

You pull yourself together

Because few people remember

Few people know

That in heart and in spirit

You too are mother

You too have missed birthdays

You have had to be strong

Without them there

While they look down upon you

Your little angel survived

But not in your arms

And on that first Mother's Day

And on that first birthday

You wish you had them there

Cause now people think there's nothing to celebrate

Nothing for you

While you have this big whole

A whole that gets bigger and bigger

The black hole that crushes your celebration

An emptiness because your child isn't there

Lets stop forgetting 

The women that have to be strong enough

To raise their future children

Maybe even grow children

After losing a child,

before ever really seeing them grow..

Happy Mother's Day to you, lonely mother

And happy birthday to your child 

Every year, on that special day
