Summary: Revisited version - after very useful feedback from Joanie and especially James!




I am angry with you Mother
For being like no other
For your absence
For the silence.

I am angry with you Mummy
For your wonderful beauty
For the tears I have shed
For the words I have not said.

Mum I am angry with you,
For your unmatched virtue
For the pain I still feel
For it will never heal.

I am angry with you Mama,
For the cancer and your trauma
For leaving me lonely
For going so quickly.
