Happy Mother’s Day

So I wrote a poem for mother's day, dedicated to all those grieving, just because we hardly talk about how it feels to celebrate this day with absence for breakfast. So here goes nothing;

To everyone whose mother isn’t here anymore.

Today may seem heavy.

The posts, the pictures, the long calls you cannot make.

The hugs you cannot give.

But love like that doesn’t disappear.

It lives in the things that reminds you of her.

So today, if your heart feels tender, let it.

Grief is proof that love was real.

And somehow, in ways we cannot fully explain,

a mother’s love never really leaves.

Happy Mother’s Day.

To the ones remembering,

to the ones missing,

to the ones loving from afar.
