I read this poem today mum and it made me cry. I still feel your loss so deeply and miss you every single day. I love you mum xx
Remember me as I used to be
Not as you saw me last.
Recall the days of happy times spent with me in the past.
Instead of tears for what might have been
Smile for all that we shared.
A life so full of happiness made so, because you cared.
And next time you see a rose in bloom
Or hear a blackbird’s song.
Remember me as I used to be
In the days when I was strong.
I would not wish for you to grieve
For the person I had become
Instead relive those memories, of the days when I was young
So remember me as I used to be
Not as you saw me last.
And keep me close in memory
In your present and our past.
