You Are Always On My Mind

My dearest Mom, now fifty-two years gone- although to me, it seems like yesterday. You were too young to leave this Earth at dawn that dark, regretful, cold September day. I feel your presence more than I can say because I know your spirit lives in me- yet miss together times I hoped would be had not, your death left each of us alone. Dear Mom, please know that not a day does flee that I don't miss the smile and love I've known.

Dear Sandra, I feel your sorrow. I lost my dad back in 88' and now my mom is 91, and I know her time is limited. Your mom, I am sure, if she can, is watching from a distance. Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Thank you once again, Daniel, for reading my poem and for your kind, uplifting words. My Mom was only 55 when she passed. I'm happy to read that your Mom is still with you. Yes, I do feel that my dear Mom is watching! Blessings back to you. Sandra ;)
