MOTHER

Sometimes I can still hear the sounds of song
waking me from lazy summer dreams
and calling me to a day filled with sunshine
and the promise of your loving smile

Sometimes I can still feel the wrap of your arms
drawing me into the safety of your embrace
the feel of a Mother's love tender in your hug
and the promise of your beautiful face

Sometimes I can still see the light in your eyes
as you watched me grow
and the pride and the joy and the pain
as your little girl became lost to you,
a woman in her place

Sometimes I can see the tremble of your tears
the sorrow that I caused, the trials that I gave
your worries over me and what I should become
and the promise of your faith

Sometimes I remember the adventures we had
driving off to far away lands
walking and talking and becoming the best of friends
as we grew beyond the bonds of fate

Always I will hold you close in my love for you
for even though you are gone and lost to me
you are the very essence of what's good in me
and the promise of what it is to be . . .
a Mother

Susan, I was just thinking about writing a poem for Mother's Day for my Mom who is still living.  I don't think I could have come up with a better one than what you said here; it is all so appropriate for my relationship with my Mom who is the world to me.  Thanks for the beautiful, thoughtful write.   ......jo

Thank you all.  I found your poem, Sean, very tender and touching.  Thanks for telling me of it.

My mother was very dear to me.  I miss her.  It has been 2 years now, yet it seems so much longer.  She was truly an incredible woman.  Amazing how much Mothers touch us.

I think you've put all our hearts into words, my friend. It's so easy to see your love for her.
