Jacqueline I'Lyezette


Just the other day, I came across a picture of you with your horse
And I was amazed to see how much we looked alike


    mother loved horses and daughter and mother
    had a resemblance and the love was deep


Could it be true that you are mere words upon a cold stone
Quiet, beautiful and kind Jacqueline
Unbelievable you left this world on Mother's Day


    the writer has a hard time accepting the death
    of her mother, who was a special person and
    the timing of the death makes it even more difficult


Entangled, meshed, intertwined are our souls for eternity
Love is what you left with me
I am proud to be the daughter of one such as you 


    the love for mother will never cease, there
    is great pride in the daughter for her mother


Not a day will go by that you are not in my heart
Especially on mother's day


    even death cannot take away the love 

    

Jacqueline

Just the other day I came across a picture of you with your horse,
And was amazed to see how much we looked alike;
Could it be true that you are mere words upon cold stone,
Quiet, beautiful and kind Jacqueline.
Unbelievable you left this world on Mother's Day,
Entangled, meshed, intertwined are our souls for eternity;
Love is what you left with me,
I am proud to be the daughter of one such as you.
Not a day will go by that you are not in my heart,
Especially on Mother's Day.

I think that we honor the ones we love by the way we live and the choices we make. So, I am so very much in awe of your sense of honor. Your love and feelings are a great power in this universe. So much, in fact, that you have brightened the color of the world. This is such a wonder and power. Embracing it all and being so clear and honest. May I honor you right now by saying that I think that your words are beautiful and so well put together. Thank you for being here--web site and planet.

I love the layout how you did this challenge, Constance. It's too bad the contest can never be judged but I am glad to finally see this one.
