I missed you quietly today
I missed you so quietly that no one noticed
I missed you without tears or noise
But oh how I felt it
I felt it as I waited in the silence as I looked at everyone
I felt it at home, on the road, in the light and even more in the dark
Yes I missed you so quietly but I felt it so loudly

On the one year anniversary of our unimaginable loss 💜
She always leaned to watch for us,
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked her tenderly,
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all so full of us,
She never could forget!
And so I think that where she is
She must be watching yet.
Waiting till we come home to her,
Anxious if we are late,
Watching from Heaven’s window,
Leaning on Heaven’s gate.

I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have is memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
With which I'll never part
God has you in his keeping
I have you in my heart.
I miss you mum 💜
