My Mother's Poems

Don't Leave

I know you don't believe me

That I miss you very much,

You have that caring feeling

And that very special touch.

But you can't leave me now

Because I love you oh, so much,

Just give me one more chance

I just have to be with you.

I wouldn't know what to say

If we were to be apart,

So I'm asking you to stay

Because you are in my heart.

As I read your letters over

I cry again and again,

I wipe the tears from my face

And try to hide my pain.

I know you really love me

The distance makes me weep,

So I tightly close my eyes

And I try to falls asleep.
