Mother's Day Poem©

Mother’s Day

 I didn’t know mother

That you had grown so weak and tired

So please forgive my careless ways

When my youthful heart thought I had everyday 

Everyday to say thank you for loving hands

A warm embrace, a gentle touch and an angels face

I didn’t know how quickly God would let you go

Even knowing how much I loved you so

I stroll the stores we use to walk

I visit the little diner where we use to sit and talk

Your laughter still lingers in the air

I pray so hard to find you there

But I know inside my heart that you are gone

Because my heart has hurt far to long

You gave me life and made it good

Even in my teen years when I was lost, somehow you understood

And back then I swore I’d never be like you

Now I find your spirit in so many things I do

When my first love came along and broke my heart

You held me and let me cry

Said I wouldn’t always want to die

Though your name will never pass my lips

I will forever feel your gentle kiss

A crowd gathers around the cards that line the wall

How lucky are they

Who still have a chance to say

“ I love you, mama”

Happy Mother’s Day!
