I Looked For You Today

Dear Mom,
I looked for you today.
I found you in the smell of coffee,
as I passed our favorite café. 

I felt you in the cool breeze,
that traveled fiercely up my spine.
I put my face toward the sky
and found you in the warm sunshine.

I looked for you today,
but I didn't have to look far.
When I lifted my head up high,
I found you in the stars.

I will never stop looking,
because I know you're always around.
I know you have never left me,
you're just waiting to be found.

Never go a day without doing that. I regret every opportunity I failed to let my mom know what she meant to me.
