What is Life
What is Life without you
Please will someone tell
On the surface I am smiling
Inside I feel like hell
I wish you were still here
To guide me through the day
There's so much I'd love to say to you
So much I long to say
Why is love and life so empty
Without you by my side
I just want to leave all this
And run away and hide
Unfairness hurt and pain
Are with me all the day
At times I come across as hard
I keep all love at bay
Sometimes my smile is covering pain
Wishing you were here with me again
I laugh, but I feel my heart it may break
Hoping you would be back when I awake
I live for my dreams, never wishing to wake
Unless dreams can come true
And my heart it won't break
To lose a Mother is a pain like no other
(First Poem written by Alice T after losing her beloved mother at a young age) The first of many to be published, winner Time Out Magazine)
