Mama's Will

Mother,today I'm on my own
thinking of what would i say 
if you ever had to leave this world before me...
I hope you won't..but this is how it  goes...


Mother

I thankyou for the empty Will,which  is so full of you

I thankyou for your warmest smile,always serene  and true

I  thankyou for the riches ,you never  left behind

that's sure a clever way, for our  family not to fight

I  thankyou for the empty will, full of  sweetest memories

the kindness of your heart, lives in my realities

I  thankyou for the only ring you left us in the drawer

a  simple  golden circle ,you lived loyal to, forevermore

I thankyou for the funny you, the laughter and long chats

the hearthy meals and yummy goods ,without any regrets

I thankyou for the songs you sang on times when i was sad

so many nights unslept,so close to my own bed

I  thankyou for the devotion, for our only God above

you talked about Him in a way,that I believed in love.

Mother,you are the best example of how we all should be

many neighbours ,lonely people ,you've  helped with blissful glee.

There are  so many saints ,who did extraordinary things in life

then there are those humble people who did  simple special deeds

there are those strong willed people who won each sacrifice

being the the best mother,the best sister,the best friend and the best wife.

Mother,there's a heaven a place where you should be

I know you are so happy there in waiting just for me

An emtpy Will i found which is so full of you

there's nothing I will change about,in anything you do.

 Charma



P.s-Sometimes we feel to say loving words to those we love ,
to show them how special they are ,and its so very hard.
Sometimes we wait till they're gone to let our emotions show,
but i do believe to live life as it was my first day and if it was my last
 and I do believe to share my love and thoughts whilst I still can...

yes, Charma....I'm taking my Mom (she's 82, a bit frail, but vibrant!) down the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi today to view the thousands of Bald Eagle adrift on ice floes, fishing for their meals, she love this time, as it recalls happy memories when we would do same when Pop was still alive...thank you for validating!, love, jimbo

Beautiful and moving hun, you touch our souls with such tenderness and bring to mind the reality of what life is all about. What are possessions without the person - what has passed can never be replaced and neither can a loved on gone - however close... Tissues please... ;D

Charma; This is a beautiful piece of poetry. You have a good heart and nothing selfish about it. I always say - when we don't have nothing to leave our kids - we leave them good advice and good memories that they will treasure for life. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla

Yes,I've seen ,heard so many families fighting about their Will.I'm so grateful my mum isn't rich enough to leave me money,and so happy she's leaving behind so much love.Many brothers,sisters,spend their lives fighting over money,and all is gone. I was thinking how we fight with those we love over material things which gives no happiness.Tnks for reading my thoughts.Its never enough to show mum how special she is,but its a humble try,thanks :)
