Remember Forever

Remember forever the life of your Mother
Like her, you will neither have nor find another 

Picture the smile in her heart the day your life started
The joy on her face when you first tied a shoelace

Remember how she rose early, at the crack of dawn
To prepare those scrumptious breakfasts you fueled your day on

How she spoke so gently to your Father, her Husband
Comforted him, cared for him, caressed him with loving

Then imagine the pride she felt deep down inside
When you walked down the aisle with your groom or your bride

Remember the thrill that surged through her being
When her grandchild on Skype she was surprised to be seeing 

And never forget her last day here on Earth
As she winged her way toward Heaven with mirth!

You have created a very beautiful tribute Gershon. I am so fortunate to still have my mother with me and I could not agree more with your sweet sentiment Happy Thursday !!!

Yes, so important to remember everything your mother has done for you, this moved me, especially 'face/shoelace line,' - wonderful!

Many, many thanks in appreciation of your comment, Michelle. Very nice of you to let me know that you were moved. It really, really makes my day. (I have to confess; moving someone with words is kind of what I live for these days). Best wishes, Gershon

You nailed it, Tom. Can't put a price on them at all. ~ Gershon
