Words you always shared
I came to know as true
A treasure of my life
Ones of, I love you
Words I also spoke
But more sparingly
Mom I hope you know
This formed the core of me
Though you’ve passed beyond
I am so aware
Of the many ways
I love you, still I hear
A prayer of my heart
To share with you, above
Mom, I never told you
That I love your love
A question you’ll ask
As you continue to grow
Here is the truth
I want you to know
I hope you will feel
In all of your days
My love to reveal
In so many ways
Heart of my heart
In our being whole
Deeper than that
We are bound in our soul
To always find comfort
In my healing embrace
Sometimes letting go
Or lessons of grace
Even in times
That you’re not aware
Know you are always
Deep in my prayers
Will I be perfect?
The answer is no
But my hearts passion
Is to love you so
Will I ever stop?
The answer is never
My love is eternal
A Mother’s forever
On this Mother’s Day
A different one appears
For it’s the first one
Without you being here
No thought of intention
To buy card and gift
No stop at the store
Or telephone lift
Your hole here is deeper
The wound opens wide
The missing grows bigger
Where you did reside
So I’ll write a letter
Some words of heart to share
What you meant to me
And send through a prayer
One of the soul
Of void of the filling
An intimate sharing
Love of fulfilling
