Mamma, your hands so cold and frail, how i miss your warmth.

Mamma, your eyes so focused on long past, difficult to vison upon the present.

Mamma your legs no longer stand upright, how i miss the days of strength.

through the years everpassing i see your failing health, but MAMMA,

Your love for me grows even unto this day, a never ceasing love.

Mamma if i forgot to tell you today, thank you for loving me.     I love you

You have written something that was very touching....My grandmother passed away last year at the age of 86 and she still worried so much about my mum right up until then..something about being a mother you still worry even when your children are grown. loving poem
