Notes About The Poem

Nothing spells "Home" like the words Mom and Dad. No matter how old you get, where you go, or how long it's been since you've been there, there is something so special about Home. I was thinking about this when I wrote this poem.

A Letter To Mom

This is just a note to say,
How much you mean to me,
How special are my thoughts of you,
How much you'll always be,

A very special part of me,
A warm spot in my heart,
And though you're years and miles away,
We're really not apart;

And though the road I walk be long,
With many twists and turns,
Your memory will light my days,
As though a candle burns,

Within my heart dispelling gloom,
Encouraging my spirit,
Enabling hope to come again,
With sweet words of endearment.
