March 5th


My Mom went to Heaven 6 short days ago,
How can this be true, please say it is not so.
She has now joined my Pop for eternity.
On March the 5th my 32nd Anniversary.

How will I reconcile, these two separate events?
How to define what March 5th, now represents?
The joy of a union, of husband and wife.
Or, the lose of still having my Mom in my life.

March 5th has brought such joy for 32 great years.
My fear is that it now will only be remembered with my tears.
Where the two pictures that sat by her bed a sign?
One was of her Wedding, the other her dancing with Pop at mine.

I leaned to her ear the night before that day.
Told her that I loved her, and begging her to stay.
It may sound selfish of me to make such a request.
I was just not ready for her eternal rest.

As morning came on my Anniversary day.
My Mom in her bed slowly slipped away.
I picture my Pop holding his hand out to his wife.
Asking, "Can I have this dance, for our eternal life?"

How will I reconcile, these two separate events? 
The special two occasions, March 5th now represents.
With the love of my husband, for the rest of my life.
And the memory of my Pop dancing with his wife.

Mom and Pop I love you and miss you,
Gigi
