"A Celebration of My Mother" There's an incredible woman named Linda Lee Whose life is a colourful tapestry Of spirit and soul, of joy and tears And experiences rolled into fifty years. It's a beautiful thing -- the quilt of her life: With paisley pain and stripes of strife. Dotted with hard work, courage and strength, Embroidered with knowledge and passion and faith. Fringed in adventure and frayed at the ends, It's threaded with animals, family and friends. There are a few stains but the colours are bright And the heart in the middle seems to shine its own light! So when I need a hug or a gentle reminder Of the Gift of my life, I set out to find her... For the comfort I find is like that of no other When I blanket myself in the love of my mother. For my Mom |

Beautiful! It is wonderful that you treasure NOW those moments with your mom. Mine died March of 1998. We fought like crazy, much too much. We laughed a great deal too. I miss her terribly. |
