Poem for my Mom on This Thursday.....
You were my mother and my friend,
Which was unusual.
Somehow our characters still blend;
Your wisdom and my will.
I turned, and you were there for me;
I spoke, you understood.
I felt cared for, but also free;
You loved, and I was good.
I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I LOVE you still. Though you are gone,
You live in what I do.

This is a photo of my Mom...taken in 1939...
My Mom died on May 13th...(Mother's Day)... 6 years ago. There is not a day that goes by that I don't wish I could see her face...and talk to her. This poem today...is for you MOM.

My mom's been gone 5 1/2 years and Mother's Day is still the hardest day of the year for me in dealing with her loss. This poem made me cry, but I'm glad to have read it.
I am certain she smiles on you.
I've been tearing up all week. This will be my first Mother's Day without my mother, and the grief keeps seeping through. Your poem resonates deeply...
What a perfect mother's day poem. I'm sorry your mother isn't with us anymore, but I'm sure she's watching over you (and reading your blog -- so watch out what you write!).
Wonderful tribute to your mom. No doubt she'd be proud of the woman you've become!
Wonderful tribute to an obviously wonderful Mom. Love the old photograph too.
