Flowers For Mother

I'd love to send you flowers Mother, If there were some way I could. For I know how much you loved them And on you they looked so good. We would pin them on your shoulder And then take you out to dinner. In a contest for best mothers You would surely be the winner. Hope you know how much we loved you, The seven children that you bore. We had our little rivalries As to which one you loved the more. You made us feel so special And more precious than the rest, For each of us was certain She was the one you loved the best. It has been a long time, Mother Since we brought our flowers to you. On this Mother's Day, dear Mother, You must know we wanted to. by: Joyce Johnson

Joyce, let me brush a tear away, your poem is full of deep sorrow and emotions many of us hold in our hearts today. I am having a difficult day lost in memories because I know this pain. I have some red roses to take to the cemetery.
