I Love You


Your smile was always a welcome
Embrace from your soul
A whisper of hope and joy
Sent to my heart through love

Your laughter colored my dreams
In hues of amber and gold
Gentle arrays of compassion
Sending my thoughts naked warmth

Your joy inspired me to believe
In the delight of adoration
Flavored with feelings of light
Dawning across the morning pleasure

Your elation formed a pearl
Inside the oyster of my thoughts
Beckoning me to listen to my heart
And the sense of peaceful grace

Your charisma sought me out
Through an allure that is often shared
By giving from the depths
Of a soul who loves without limits

Your attraction was like a magnet
Pulling me into your presence
Where I found comfort and reassurance
That love was always the answer

Your love has been a gift
Sent down from heaven’s shore
Pouring out kindness in me
That reminds me of your abiding hope

I know that you are my Mom
But to me you are way more
You are my friend, my confidant, my hope
For a world that brings out true goodness

I love you

Thanks for sharing this... making me nostalgic of my Mama as I try to read this aloud. We praise the Lord for our wonderful Moms. God bless you.
