~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My mother seems so far away from me
on that beautiful white shore across the sea.
Yet I remember love's soft glow upon her face
and the feel of her touch and tender embrace.
When I am weary from the burdens I've borne,
and the path is unclear and I feel so forlorn,
I remember her loving support was always near
and her advice made the path ahead seem clear.
When I feel there is no one who seems to care,
or when the heartache seems too hard to bear,
I remember how she always stood by my side
and would tenderly wipe away the tears I cried.
When there are moments of great joy and pride
and I wish Mother was standing at my side,
I remember she saw more than I thought I could be,
and know I owe my triumphs to her belief in me.
When I reminisce about the things she used to say
and I miss her and think she is so far away,
I remember what she gave lives on through me,
and one day I'll see her on the white shore across the sea.
