November 10th

           It was the 10th day of November when my mother lost her battle with cancer. It's not a day that I mark on my calender or remember in the same way I remember a birthday or my anniversary. I'm reminded of this dates significance by the well meaning messages that I receive from my friends and family on this date.
I miss my mom every day of every month exactly the same way. I will never be able to fill the void that not having a mother  leaves in a persons life.

                               November 10th

                                          Today wasn't any different then yesterday

                                          I miss her just as much today as the day she went away

                                          Should it be today the 10th of November

                                          The only day when I should remember

                                          The person who gave me life

                                          More then a beloved mother and a beloved wife

                                          This day will come and go and be long gone

                                          But the pain I feel will still be strong

                                          On the 11th when the sun shows

                                          It will only be God who knows

                                          How much my emptiness and my sorrow

                                          Will be with me today as well as tomorrow.

                                          I miss you.
