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!

I love this poem. I lost both my parents before I was twenty four and this poem captured every thought I have had since then. Janette Fisher

Laura, my Mom's gone too, but I like to think she is still looking over me. Your sentiments about trying to recall her face struck a chord. Like you, I go back to pictures. Mother's Day can be a difficult time, but surely she still knows you are thinking about her. Love, Carolyn

So sweet Laura...I love the sentiment, and it makes me miss my own mother so much....wishing she could have known my children. I have often thought how different, how wonderful it would be if we could have had more time together. lovely poem. ~ Carrie
