My Brilliant Mother

by Casey Gamble

When my mother passed away, Her absence left its mark. I'll use her light to guide me When this journey of grief feels dark.

The greatest gifts she gave me Are courage, strength, and resilience. I wouldn't be able to handle this pain If it wasn't for her brilliance.

She prepared me for the future, Taught me how to face my fears. Now the future is here, but she is gone, And everything seems unclear.

She'd been with me from the start With constant, unwavering love. Though she's moved on from this world, I know she's watching from above.

She would tell me to be strong now. And continue on without her. So I'll be sure to lead a worthwhile life In honor of my brilliant mother.
