Thirty nine years ago I rested beneath your heart In your body,safe warm and protected My conception was a surprized But my birth was well planned At ten am,you would enter the operating room You looked forward the this for so long Told prior that you could never have another child You told me once you were in shock at the news But here I was,and you were ready I slept peacefully listening to your heartbeat A sound of comfort and reassurance Unaware of what the morning would bring New and bright the day began My first memory was of your eyes and scent If I close my eyes I can still smell you near me Hear your voice and see you But then I open my eyes and your gone I remember me in a high chair You forcing me to eat broccoli I hated it then,now I love it I remember the board of education I also well remember it's sting on my butt So many memories assualt me tonight The little things we did thogether Tha laughter,the teasing time alone with you Our arguements as I grew up,and love I remember the love You gave of yourself to everyone you knew So tonight Mom,for all you ever were Wishing with all my heart and soul That you could spend just one more night with me Fighting the anger and pain I still feel at your death Trying to understand why you left me and Daddy Why was it your time to go Why your not here when I need you most So my birthday wish this year is for you That you know how much I miss you And how very much I love you I rememeber you Mom Let me apologize now for the spelling errors.No spell check on the laptop....sorry. ------------------ Illusion...what we see and what we do...it's all up to you. |

Watcher: Believe me, this is perfect and no spelling checker in the world could make this a more fitting tribute for a mum who was and will always remain wonderful to you...The emotions that sing their way through this "your birthday wish"...brought tears to my eyes...Bless you!

We also had the Hand of Inspired Knowledge applied to where our Mom usually thought our brains were at...it worked as well as the Board of Education. Well done, Watcher, thank you for sharing. |

I'm speechless. What can I say but, "Well done my friend"? ------------------ Once I was brilliant, now I no longer shine, but the twinkle in my eye speaks of another time. |
