Mom I Will Miss You

When I was born you took me in your arms, wrap me in a blanket, took me home, and kept me from all harm.  You shared with me so much love and kindness this is why I miss you mom.   As I grew taller you kept me safe with your prayers from all danger and harm, this is why  I miss you.  As I became older when  I was sad you would take me in your arms and rock me until  I was glad, and my tears went away.  When  I became of age and ready to go out in the world to follow my dreams, you had already taught me right from wrong.  This is why I will miss you mama.  Now that I am grown, on my own and you have left to go home to be with Christ, mama I will miss you.  Christ will keep you safe in his arms from all harm, but I still love and miss you mama.
