Mam And Dad
They died and I changed. I went from a happy girl, to sad
Mam And Dad
Mam and Dad Are Gone now.
The house feels empty, quiet, still,
No warmth to soften the coldest chill.
Mam’s laughter echoes in my ears,
Dad’s steady voice, gone now, so fast.
I call their names into the air,
But only silence answers there.
No arms to hold me, no soft reply,
Just questions whispered to the sky.
Did they know how much I’d needed them?
Mam’s love, a heart to lead us all.
Now I feel lost, like a ship at sea,
Adrift in memories that won’t let me be.
Anger blooms where sadness lies,
A bitter flame that never dies.
How could they leave, how could they go,
And leave me here to face this sorrow?
Time may dull but it can’t erase
The empty space, their missing faces.
Though life moves on, I hold on tight,
With cherished thoughts of them, day and night
Rest in peace, Mam and Dad, I Love and miss you both so much every day. ♥️♥️♥️ George And Elsie Hurst ♥️♥️♥️

This tugged at my heartstrings 🥺 Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I know your feeling. I lost my parents years ago but I still miss to take the phone and have a small talk, or go visit and see their smiling faces. I still hear the voices when I listen on my inside head. Last year I lost my husband, and it is the same with him. And his death made me miss also my parents more. You really showed us your most precious thoughts in this poem, thank you!
You will see them again someday for now remember the good times you shared. I miss mine other day and its' been years.
Great tribute...
I'm so sorry to hear this about your parents. You poetry dedicated to them was beautiful.
A beautiful tribute to your parents, Georgie. They’ll be at peace.
