When love is all that's left

Wrote ths peom last year for some reason. It's at times like these that I really really do miss my own mother. I thank God for all my other mothers(Lesa's mom, Tammy's mom and Thandi's mom) and they truly have filled the spot that my own mother seems to have left. I hope Aiko will have the opportunity to at least know her biological grandmother to some extent..

I have known you my whole life,
You were the only one I could relate to in the world of males I lived in.

But you were not like the others.
I always knew you were different.

My childhood came and went. You only remember what you were there to witness.
The rest did not concern you.
I loved you still. You were the only one i had.
I took on your role because you were too busy in your world.

We all still love you but what can we do.
You are not present in our world anymore.
When love is all that's left in me, I will let you go.
But now i cannot.
I miss you mom.
I have my entire life...
