Today My Mother

Today a hummingbird flew by my face She proceeded to land with so much grace She stared at me and cocked her head In my eyes I could see, in my heart she had read Today I saw the shape of an angel in the clouds She winked at me and waved so proud As her shape changed to a heart so far above I knew you were there spreading your love Today in my yard, a rose bloomed so huge It's colors so bright and seeming a fugue Each petal was perfect and delicate too Today that rose reminded me of you Today my heart feels heavy and sad But I know you are telling me please be glad Today was the day you left this earth It's been one year since you left family and hearth Today I lost a mother and best friend My world as I knew it crashed to an end Today you have shown me to look all around In all you will see me as I am no longer bound Today you have shown me to dry my tears I am no longer in pain, I no longer fear Look to your heart, you will find me there In all things you do, do them with care My daughters, my sons, my husband and grandchildren too Today believe me when I say I am always with you I will be with you always, I am never away By your side I remain each and every day
