MOVING ON

I had no choice in the matter
I said goodbye today
She was told she had to move
Soon, she was gone, with little delay

Slowly, she left us
Smiling so at her depart
With a single tear, she said,
"Remember, I'm forever in your heart."

I held her hand before she left
And whispered, "I love you, Mom."
She gently kissed my hand
Silently she was gone.

Mom, she moved today
Now, she's never alone
I'll meet her again soon
When God takes me home.
