Notes About The Poem

Suddenly, like many days, I forgot my mom has passed on; jolted back to "reality." I will enjoy Mother's day nonetheless, being a mother and celebrating the children and grands God has blessed me with. We often find our comfort, not by looking backwards, but looking at the present. I tell myself, how blessed I am, that I had my mom for so long, though I didn't think she'd leave us as soon as she did. Even more so, the shock within the same year that my aunt, on Dad's side, who we thought would live into her 90's, passed away in her sleep at 75! We need to enjoy each day. Don't forget to hug your moms today, at least with a phone call. Have a blessed Sunday!

 I, you may
play dress up
with showers
treat your crown
to flowers
trade in the cold
for warmer hours

M

 I, you may
tiptoe outside
whisper
to the zephyr
eye the blossoms
as they sashay
port and starboard

M

 I, you may
remember
Mother’s Day
with tears
and smiles
and cheers

 I, you may
look forward
to Summer days
with a plentiful
garden of praise

Beautiful and uplifting to thank our Lord for blessings of past and those who've passed on, and present, so lovely Kim. I remember well the jolts of shock with those early first special holidays after my special aunt, then later with my mil, and again after the passing of my mom. So hard when you find a perfect gift or card, then, oh yeah :( I'd pray Jesus would give her a hug and send my love; I can't imagine a sweeter gift than that. I hope your Mother's Day was filled with blessings Kim <3

I lost my mum, my day, my youngest sister and worst of all my wife who would have had her birthday this month. Lovely poem though we never forget the dead.

Thank you, Victor. I’ve seen through my dad, especially the heartbreak of losing one’s spouse. So many beloved waiting on the other side…hugs ~ Kim
