Birdsong in the morning, droplets of dew White fluffy clouds, glorious sunshine too Moonlight and starlight remind me of you A vision in all that comes into view. In babbling brooks and soft breezes that blow I glimpse the angel I lost and love so All things are heightened in memories flow Memoirs to cherish from long, long ago. I visualise you in falling rain The melody of your heart sung again A lullaby of the sweetest refrain Vision of mother in heaven's domain. In a rainbow’s colourful hues are you For you were a woman of colours too Colour, you said, would brighten up our days And I wear many colours too, always. I observe you in the ice and snowfall When you appear the prettiest of all Your face a picture I’d place on a wall It’s vision clear paradise is a ball.

Oh dear, this is such a heartfelt and emotive take for the contest.. Touched my heart to the core.. A mother's love is so pure, unconditional and true.. And the way you've described its essence, when when is no longer in this mortal world, ephemeral yet eternal.. Forever living in our very soul.. This is just so beautiful and the descriptions are beyond gorgeous. Heartiest congratulations on the win dear, love this so much :)

A marvellous tribute to your beloved, and very much ‘with you’ mum, Belle. All at once, sad and yet uplifting. Terry

Terry, my mom passed away fifteen years ago and I still miss her very much, as we all do when we lose a parent. Thank you very much for reading and commenting so kindly… Belle

Such a wonderful poem Belle. Your imagery brings to life those everyday things that most take for granted. I can feel the love that you share. Excellent poem.

Thank you very much Tom, it’s how I feel about my mom. No doubt it’s how others see their late mother too, mothers and fathers do the best they can do… Belle
