Notes About The Poem

Her Arms

Her eyes have a loving glow to them…her smile a certain charm
but the best place to feel her love is inside our mother’s arms.

From the first time we step into them they fit around us like a glove
providing us with all we need…
when all we need…
is love

And showing us, as we grow older, 
anytime 
and anywhere
when we step back into our mother’s arms...
we’ll find some comfort there.

One day we’ll return the favor.
We’ll know when…and where
when she steps into our open arms and finds some comfort there.

And she will feel in that moment
how our arms fit around her like a glove
providing her with all she needs
when all she needs…
is love.

And when she’s no longer with us
when we close our eyes we'll find…
we still can feel that warm embrace…
her arms have left behind.
