Right Here In My Heart

Right here in my heart, although we are apart
I keep you precious three close to me.

Unbroken umbilical cord reaches without a word
Connecting us through time and space.

Into a place where we think as one.
I ring your number just as you had begun

to ring mine. It's so fine knowing you are there,
also reaching out to me. Your love so plain to see.

Right here in my heart there will always be a part
lonely for times past. Never meant to last.

It's just a big adjustment now the youngest is your age Darren. When they were toddlers love meant holding on tight. Now love means opening my arms wide in release.

You have a beautiful bond with your children Jean. No matter the years or miles in between you will always feel that close bond. You have expressed this incredible love that works both ways between mother and child. Beautiful! : ) 7

We came through the fires of hell after the marraige breakup Connie. So we appreciate this love all the more now.

You wrote your heart so beautifully! I have one daughter and two sons, and wonder what mothers did before the telephone was invented!

When in Australia in my early twenties, I remember ringing my mother once a month, knowing our local operator was listening in. Thankfully, there has been some changes since then Sunlite.
