I Remember: A Mother’s Day Poem
I remember the car rides
Blasting Taylor Swift
Getting Starbucks and running errands
I remember you holding my hands
Telling me mine were cold
Praying before I went to bed
I remember sleepless nights
Watching TLC and eating parmesan cheese
3 A.M. still making memories with you
Momma, I feel safe when I’m by your side
When I’m with you everything is alright
I remember the car rides
Greatest hits from Twenty One Pilots
Meeting you in the hospital room
I remember you holding my hands
Telling me you’d be okay
Praying you wouldn’t have to go
I remember sleepless nights
Just watching the time pass by
3 A.M. hoping you were still alive
Momma, I still feel safe when I’m by your side
Even when nothing is alright
I remember the car ride
Driving to Ann Arbor one last time
Not knowing there could even be “one last time”
I remember holding your hand
Telling you I love you still
Feeling the warmth fade
I remember the sleepless night
Someone told me it would be alright
But how could I feel safe
There’s no momma by my side
To get me through sleepless nights
God, why’d you have to let her die
At least I know that she’s alright
Safe on our Savior’s side
