For My Mom
It has been a very long year since I last held your hand
I know you had to leave so I do understand
Your first gift was love, your second a forever home
Where I was always welcome, no matter where I'd roam
We shared a remarkable bond like no other
So very blessed to have you as my mother
There was much laughter mixed with some tears
I thank God every day for all of those years
Your sparkle is in the sunshine and your glow is in the stars
The warmth across my face makes me think you are still ours
Your light illuminates the darkness of night's sky
If you could return for just a moment, I know that you would try
Still your voice rustles with the leaves and down the river stream
It feels just like you are beside me or so it would seem
Your whispers are in the wind and deep within my heart
That is why I know we will never truly be apart
You are with your heavenly family in the bounty of their love
Which you all share with me as you watch from up above
And when the rain cascades down becoming one with my tears
You paint a glorious rainbow to allay all of my fears
There will come a time, I do not know when
But I know within my soul, we will meet once again
I will live within our many cherished memories
until then.
Miss you mom.
Love forever,
Your daughter Debra
