I lost my mum

.. (and again) ..

I lost my mum

Where did she go?

I lost my mum

Little girl, in distress,

then sadness and disappointment

She’s anxious, a nervous back and forth unfolds

Disbelief about perceived betrayal

Where is my mum?

Where is my mum, she asks me

Your mother isn’t here any more

Your mother is no longer with us

But where _is_ _she_?

I want my mum

(her soft, loving and protective presence)

I am sorry your mum is no longer here

but if you want, I can comfort you?

Would you like a hug?

The child nods

It’s not the same, she says

(I know)

I am here for you, always, at anytime

All you have to do, is call me

Would she do it?

Can she allow it?

Can she allow me to love her?

Can my love for her fill up the emptiness inside?

Can she allow it, that little girl in me?

And discover the source of limitless love within
