Not Here At the Moment

Finally decided to publish one of my works written from a female POV. It might be my psychological persona of myself, which rather concerns me, because it is like I said female...
 * Author's note:

I told my sister, "She's not here anymore." But, I guess, she still is.

Now I take out one of your shirts, And it still has that stain. I remember the drop of wine, It fell to that shirt, Like how my tear falls to mine now.

You're not here at the moment. Though, you almost always were. To tie our shoes. To help us up. To assign us chores. To give us hugs.

Now your friendly face, Your comforting words, And everything seems gone.

But you're still with us. No barrier of earth, Time, Or loss, Could ever separate our love.

I love you, Mom. And you'll always be with us, In our hearts and minds. And I'm thankful for that.
