Hazel Marie Bennett's Obituary
Ode to mom
I woke up today feeling sad.
But I couldn't remember why.
I picked up the phone to call you.
Then dropped down to my knees and cried.
My heart felt so lost and empty.
I'd never again hear your voice.
I wasn't ready to let you go.
But God didn't give me that choice.
Now the world seems full of darkness.
And I'm uncertain of how to move on.
How does a daughter survive?
Without the love and the care of her mom.
Where do I go when I'm hurting?
And who will know just what to say?
Who will be on MY side always?
And make me feel special on all my birthdays?
I know many people that love me.
But noone does that like your mom.
All the years that I took you for granted.
How could I ever have been so wrong?
For all the times that I hurt you.
All the nights that I made you lose sleep.
I can only hope you forgive me.
And know that my love for you ran deep.
I really do wish I had known.
What I had before it was gone.
Because there's no other pain in the world.
Like the deep pain of losing my mom...
Love you for always, Stefanie
