I MISS YOU MORE

by Kim Hodne

I miss you more than you’ll ever know
The world is not the same without you here
Sadness washes over me without a moments notice
Your presence can be so clear

I wish I could me that Mom again
The one who answered every call
And laughed at all your stories
Who lent the understanding ear

I loved being there for you
I looked forward to all that lay ahead
I wanted the best for you
I lost such a good friend

I still long to see that bright smile
That lit up those Irish eyes
I want to feel the strong hug
I want to hear your contagious laugh

The wait seems so long indeed
Until I can see you again
I just want to be that Mom again
The one who loved you more than you’ll ever know
