Smile For Me

I remember when I was little my mum would tell me she loved me all the way to the moon and back. I’d tell her I loved her all the way to the sun and back.
I remember how she cut me my sandwiches in the shape of love hearts, and how she sewed me a little heart on my first day of school. I remember running to her, my arms outstretched and knowing she’d swing me into a hug and hold me there. I remember smelling her familiar perfume that was on all her shawls, her hats and her clothes. I remember her laugh, her smile and her warmth.
I wish she were still here
