Flowers From Heaven.
It’s now many years Mom
since you passed away
Still angry with me from that day
For your opinion was all that mattered
No one else’s you considered.
Many a spat we had over silly things
You left without a farewell to a place far away.
I have a daughter now no two
But one’s as stubborn as a mule
We’ve had harsh words she and I
and parted in anger many a time
Now I know what you felt
when I opposed your rule
Oh blessed night when you came to me
Your spirit pure and sweet
A bouquet of flowers you gave to me
And one to my daughter too
What touched me most were the words I read
etched upon petals translucent blue
Love and forgive, from Mom dear one
You know now the true meaning of love
In that wonderful place above.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful vision of love.
