Taken From us, She was Far Too Young ( prose)

Very very nice Dim. Moms never hang around long enough.

I wish my mum so dear.

Was near. I want her her here.

Life is eerie, whack.

I wish I could go back,

"And mares eat oats,

Does eat oats,

And little lambs eat ivy".

Tell me a rhyme,

Tell me a story.

Why must Mom leave?

Why so short a time?

Wow, that teared me up. So sorry for your loss. If they read this, they would be proud I am sure of. You are a very gifted poet that writes from own personal emotion. And in doing so, you have created a wonderful tribute. True love is forever.

Very beautiful words. It took a lot of strength I know to write this about your mum, and I'm sure she is as pleased with this, as all your readers are. Though painful at times, sharing your pain may help someone else.~Best wishes to you

Very beautiful Dim.

A magnificent work of verbal art... straight from the heart. Thanks for sharing your path in such a way as to enrich the lives of others.

Very touching and beutifully written..thanks for sharing this..

Oh Dim I do feel your pain. Although my mom is still here, my dad has passed away. It is hard to adjust when young ones lose their parent, such a hole in your life as you very well explained. This is a beautiful poem and a wonderful tribute to your Mom! thank you so much for sharing!! God bless! Hugs!!

So crying reading this. Your mom is now an angel. *Hugs*

So beautiful and moving.

Hi Dim,

How beautiful a tribute to your Mom. So sorry about your loss...and of others out there who have written.

Touched by your words, too, Saddlerider.

When we write from the heart, we touch others in very real ways...that made ripples. Your broken-hearted poem is poignant...and I thank you for sharing it.

It is also a reminder of the type of Mom I want to be to my daughter....to remember what is most important...the smiles and carresses...which I hope will comfort her after I am called beyond this mortal life. :0)

Your poem is a truly loving tribute to your mum who passed away so long ago. I believe that your mum and dad are in heaven.

"If God had wanted us up there, Why´d He put us here

in the first place?"

Because this is the school for the soul that Gos hath made. The soul learns things from pain it learns no other way.

...well my mum was my best friend (as was my dad) so I can certainly relate to how you feel in this beautiful heartfelt and evocative ode to the greatest love that most of us will ever have - although I have another great love too - and that is your comments to me which always make my day complete - thank you for being in my life and it was a grand day when we met , wasn't it.

wish me on a safe drive to work and I will see you again down the not too distant road

This was sad, but a beautiful tribute to your mom. :-)

There's a young man, 18 now, who doesn't want to get his driving license. As a matter of fact he doesn't do much at all but make up songs on his acoustic guitar and play video games. Once he had dreams of going to college and was excited about the future. Then one day as I was driving him home after he'd been visiting for a week or so with his younger sister, the cell phone rang. The long short of it is his mother had accidentally over-dosed on prescription pills and died. He was 14 and being a very sensitive boy, has never been the same since. I'm going to show him your poem Dim, I think it will help reach deep inside him in a healing way. Thank You.

Oh Dim! She was only 32! It must have been so hard..........I can still hear the sadness and emptiness of your pain........big, big hugs to you!

Dim after reading your very heart breaking poem and a tribute your your beautiful mom, it breaks my heart as it does others here by the comments left. To lose a parent at an early age is so painful to children left behind to be without the love of that parent. Your mom no doubt was taken to early, yet we as humans don't know what the overall plan is of our creator, who or whatever that may be.

A mother is like a beautiful rose, she blossoms forth, her stem feeds her with the early morning dew, her petals open to kiss the morning dawn, while her bouquet leaves a scent and memory that will linger in our hearts and soul all the day long.

Your mother knew she was leaving, she loved you with all her heart, her sorrow was shed on her pillow where her beautiful head lay soaking up her tears knowing that there would be no tomorrow for her and you on the earthly plane, yet she knew in her heart of hearts that you will meet again and be mum and daughter always through eternal end.

Honor our moms and dad that's all we have left, we were given to them and them to us by a gift mightier than us, though they are gone, life still goes on and we carry their hearts torch forever in ours. Think of the beauty they shared while they were both here amongst us, think of the laughter and joyous tears we bled together dancing and holding hands and swinging us young ones in the air. Oh those were sweet days of yore, lest we forget, nay never shall we, as we were truly blessed to have mama and papa in our lives.

peace and blessings to you Dim, the Saddle is crying and tears are dripping on my pen....hugs

Hi Dim, just beautiful. I was going to an open mic concert to sing one of my songs Sunday night and I just wasn't happy with it so I sat down to see if anything would come forth. Out of the blue came one of the best songs I've written and it was about the passing of my Mom. I guess we're both driven to poetry when it comes to that. I appreciate your sharing. =:)

Hello Dim, your Mum was so young when she passed away, I too have needed tissues to write this.

I feel your sadness and love.

Writing at it's best, beautiful.x

Dear Dim,

I can feel the love and the deep sorrow that you carry not having your mom here..I am thankful you still are able to draw beautiful memories of your sweet mother. May God reach down and touch you today with his love and peace and as you draw from these memories a sweet smile will fall upon your lovely face.

Hugs,

Love,

Sunnie

Hello Dim. I know what you mean about Saddlerider, he always manages to say what we are thinking and rarely manage to express. He doesn't realise how amazing he truly is at putting words on paper. It is people such as him and yourself that make HubPages so very special. Mums are just so, so special and when we lose them it is so hard to take.I had to grab another tissue to write this to you, it evoked memories again for me too. Hugs, Acaetnna. xx

This was so beautiful. I have only just recovered from shedding innumerably tears. This was so very poignant for me. Awesome, truly awesome Dim. Thank you for expressing something that most of us find so very difficult to express.

Oh my goodness. how very beautiful, sad, sweet and sorrowful...and the strength and ability to hold it together to share with your readers. Incredibly wonderfully well written...you impart such depth of feeling and your memories...so touching. Thank you, Dim...wow..is about all I can say. All the appropriate ups, my dear.

I love the picture of the4 dark haired girl...a picture says so much.

I am astounded by the strength, courage, beauty and insight it took to write this. Indeed a beautiful thing.
