Written for Mothering Sunday - 10th March in the UK

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.

Beryl, we honor our moms, but you go even beyond with love and appreciation. She must have been a really good person.

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

your poem touched my heart, Beryl. You've written words that I'd write for my own mother. The bond and love we share with our mother's transcends the earthly bounds and is timeless. Well said and beautiful. Enjoy your evening, hugs, Sara

Oh Daniel, you have touched my heart too, having read such a delightful review from you. All mothers are special and dwell in the heart of their children forever. My mother passed on sixteen years ago, yet I think of her every day and safe in my heart is where she’ll stay. Thank you and bless you dear Daniel… Beryl
