For many, Mother’s Day is filled with flowers and celebration, but for others, it is a day touched by grief, reflection, and longing.

For Mother’s Day, When You Are Gone

The flowers bloom as if you’re here,

their colours bright, their fragrance clear.

Yet in my heart, the quiet stays—

your voice is gone, your gentle ways.

Still, love remains, it will not part;

you live within my steadfast heart.
