missing you on mothers day

I misssed you yesterday Kyle.
A phone call would have been heavenly.
I didn't even realize I was missing you
until that young man grabbed his girls hand
In profile he resembled you
My world did a spin
a flop and my heart dropped
to the floor in that mall
on mothers day 2005
was his mother mad
he wasn't with her
or that he hadn't phoned?
I hope she never knows
how it could be
would be
if he were gone.
Our kids are not meant to go before us.
