Are You Watching Over Me

Thinking of you Remembering the last years When you helped me recover Showing me the true love of my mother By my side you would always stay No matter how hard I pushed you away It was your love and dedication That helped me reach A place they said I would never see I will always remember the early years You were always there to help with any tears And to save me from my fears As time went by You were always there to answer any call You helped through my hardest time Forgiving me my life's mistakes Devoting yourself to my recovery We grew closer than I ever remember We had moments together That will last forever It is so unfair That when I recovered Out of no where I was informed You had become ill It was this fatal sickness That would take you from us But your memories will always remain As I pass through these cemetery walls To see your final resting place In my mind you will always be To my knees I fall Lowering my head I think... Are you watching over me From someplace far beyond

Thank you Jan, I appreciate your thoughts on my work. My mothers birthday is around the corner and as you may be able to tell from the poem, I feel my mother did more for me than anyone could ever ask of their mother.
