Craving For a Mother's Love

There’s a little girl inside of me craving for a mother’s love. Wishing for her to speak to me from her home above. Craving for a mother to hear me speak and minister to my pain. In need of mother to hold me close during the storm and rain. Fifty years upon this earth and still need mother’s hand. Trying so hard to walk alone in this cold, cold land. Mother is gone, grandma too where do I go from here? Craving for a mother’s love Oh how I wish she was near.

Mary, you are not alone. We will forever be our mother's child and need their loving comfort. I talk to my mom every day, and sometimes I swear she is so near. Love, Shar

mary I lost my mother at the age of 4 and I allowed that loss to consume me - I have learned that the ones we love who have passed on live forever in our souls - We are all children in the eyes of God and speaking to our ancestors is but a prayer away { sure would be nice if we could hear the answer though} My prayers include you always Mary
