Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written for Mothering Sunday - 10th March in the UK

If Only I Could for Mothering Sunday

I'd visit you in heaven if I could
With a bouquet of roses, yes I would
Celestial beauty of music I'd play
For you mother on this your special day.

I'd write a poem to your heart from mine
To say I love you, and will for all time
For all that you did with kindness and mirth
To me you were the best mother on earth.

I'd climb the highway to heaven for you
 Do anything that you wanted me to
If it meant I could be there beside you
To celebrate this day together, we two.

I'd pour us a glass of sparkling champagne
As we relive our memories again
Then dance by the light of silvery night
And greet the man in the moon in space flight.

I'd give you hugs in your home far away
If I could, I would for you mom today.

Duke Beaufort March 11, 2024 at 7:37 AM Beryl, we honor our moms, but you go even beyond with love and appreciation. She must have been a really good person. Beryl Edmonds March 13, 2024 at 4:10 PM Duke, my mother was an angel to me, but aren’t all mothers angels to their children. They say there’s no love like a mother’s love, to me that’s the truth. Thank you, Beryl
