A Mother's Day Wish
My dear Mother
I think of you more often than any other
It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face
My mind goes blank when I try hard to trace
I try to remember your warm hands and caring demeanor
It’s been so long since I’ve heard your voice the air grows leaner
Now I am left here with memories that I keep by choice
Locked in a book where I turn the page to peak and rejoice
Dear Mother you taught me so much with your cooking technique
And I miss listening to you and Dad when you would sit and speak
I wish your were here to met my daughter that I love so much
And watch her grow and give her hugs love and such
You know you never think you’ll lose her one-day
But then she’s gone when you have so much to say
I see her come walking into my dreams
Then she ventures off and I’m left in tears and screams
I wake up to wonder was it real or just unclear
Or just another moment together in a dream atmosphere
Dear Mother I wanted take this day to say
Although your not here anymore Happy Mothers day!
