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.
