Hi, After bidding farewell to Mother, my mind was over crowded, and it was kind of 'action replay'in my mind, and these words came out......................

I know that...................
I know that someday I’ll get used to the fact that we’re not together any more. And that maybe we won’t be... ever again.
Time will tell. In the meantime, though, you may be away from my life, but you will never be very far from my heart. I know the love will never leave.
There are too many memories; there were so many precious moments and wonderful times; of tears and of joys to ever try to forget... for the rest of my days,
How you helped me find my first step, my first word, some happiness and some truths and how you opened some beautiful doors and how you protected me from the harshness of life
I’ll never forget that I am an extension of your life how good it was to share a part of my life with yours.

This is it: Action. Write better, or forget it. Write a song, sing a song, have a nap, have a KitKat.
I know exactly what you mean and I agree with you but don't you think that there are times when somebody may need some other kind of comments. By the way, actions speak louder than words. I am personally waiting for some "action" and "words" coming from you. I am not very inspired today I'm afraid, but do you see what I mean?.[6]
Thanks pieter for your comments, and critical comments are always welcome, reason is simple, it shows your errors, which you may not see. right ! well 'commonplaces' yes, but can you deny the feelings for your 'mother' same way what i feel or may be maj will feel or anybody will feel ? 'mother' isn't a universal concept ? and so this is not only for me or for the therapy purpose or not only
The problem is not what you feel but how you express it. A commonplace can be used but to express something special, a contradiction or something. My poem for my mother has these last lines. ( The first part is made up by word games so it can't be translated. " My mother is a bellring in the church garden, Ladybird among camommile, in my bower a doll. Mother's the nicest rhyme in m
