(I lost my mom four years ago and so I wrote this in honor of her.  Love you mom)

Underneath the canvas of the night
The iridescent moon glowing bright
With the falling stars that make no sound
I can feel your presence all around

Left behind and wondering why
It was so hard to say goodbye
But knowing where you are right now
Has brought comfort to us somehow

Your sweet smile still lights up the night
And lets us know that you're alright
Your energy still fills the home
In every single room we roam

Your baby soft hands I held in mine
Such comfort and nurturing I did find
A smile on your face we always would see
Such joy you brought to your family

But it's your voice I miss most of all
Every day I made a special call
To check on you both and let you know
I'm thinking of you and love you so

Although you're gone and no longer here
I still talk to you and shed a tear
My secrets and thoughts to you I send
Someday I know I'll see you again

*sigh*...The love you have for your mother shines brightly in these beautiful words...very emotional and very well written

I felt every emotion so strongly, i lost my father a couple of yrs ago, still have my mother but she is so ill now. I can relate to so many of the words you wrote. Nothing replaces losing a parent, well written.

Beautiful tribute to one you love so deeply.

true love never looks after it's own interests

A beautiful tribute to a loving mother. Would that everyone would have such a mom to write poems about.

Thank you all for your kind comments.  I'm sorry for your loss dreamgirl and Michaelmas.  It's not an easy thing to go through.  But great memories never fade away and keep the spirit alive.
