Mom, exactly six years ago today You passed from our life and went up above In the six years since I still feel surrounded by your love You were more than my Mom My best friend indeed And I just wanted to let you know You're still the greatest gift yet I've recieved Your kind blue eyes had me from day one The gentleness in your voice said it would be okay I'll never forget all that you've done for me In your own special and caring way Losing you was hard Harder than anything I've ever done There was a time when I swore That never again would I love I think you heard me talking to you Late nights while I lay in bed I think you been snooping around (lol) And my mind you have read For I am no longer blue I smile when I see your face And I know that it was your time To leave and go beyond this "place" In God's hands you are safe And able to do the work you were meant to So fly my angel And someday again in heaven...I will see you ~*dedicated to my mom who passed away on Oct 1, 1994. We all love you very much!! "The head learns knew things, but the heart forever more practices old experiences" |

you just need to kissed for this one sweetie and you are ... kissed by an angel You could pay her no sweeter tribute than to say you have been able to let go of the pain. She needs no sweeter tribute than to see you grow in to the wonderful,beautiful young woman you have become. love ya sunshine jm |

Amy, this is such a beautiful tribute to your mom. I too miss those who have gone before me, but I know they are watching over me and aren't really 'gone'. Good work. Elizabeth Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near... [email protected] |

Amy, your love for her shines so very brightly and I know that she is watching over you and smiling right now just knowing and FEELING this love. You have given us all something to cherish not only in your words but for allowing us to feel them as well. Excellent penning. |

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom even six years later doesn't take away all of the hurt but your poem shows that you have found some comfort in the time that has past. You'll carry that piece of her with you for as long as you live. |

Beautiful, beautiful poem! You've brought tears to my eyes. I haven't lost my mom, but lately, I've learned quickly that, without her, I'm not sure where I'd be. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful poem! sp |

We grieve with you this day, and yet can truly say... Today was likely filled with scenes like these... Held safe in our fathers arms so tenderly, a talk, then a walk through meadows of green, surrounded by golden daffodils. She passes a gate made of finest pearls, to walk on streets of pure gold. Mom would likely say to you this day... Just be here someday, just be here |

Amy, my friend~ How much this poem meant to me ... as I also am still trying to come to grips with losing my mother. Her memories wash over me in torrents ... I find comfort in remembering. *Hugs* to you, sweet lady. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
