Unbroken Chain of Love

Was there ever a time she doubted my love?
As a child, did I let her know how much her acts of kindness meant? 
No one will ever love me as she did.
Decades have passed, but my heart still yearns for her touch.
Ageless is the affection for the mother who lives in my heart.



*Written March 15, 2015, in honor of my mother who passed far too young in 1984.

"Ageless is the affection for the mother who lives in my heart? The beauty of Mother's love and affection is that it grows more and deeper with the passing of time. You have painted a touching write. Congrats dear friend on your well deserving win. Sorry for visiting your page after a long span of time, but you always live in my memory as a wonderful friend even to this day. Love and best wishes always.....Ravindra K Kapoor

Andrea, it is a common name for people of Polish ancestry, but I don't come across many with that name. Thanks for your comments. Love, Carolyn
