I wrote this for my mom last year. Last summer though her cancer was diagnosed as terminal, and she passed away in October. This is for her and all the other mothers out there who everyday help add light to their children's lives. When the dark winds howl and moan And the rain pounds down hard and cold Never need there be fear of life alone Not while burning life’s spark, bold Timeless, ageless, rock of storm Wisdom, knowledge, spreading grace Shoo away the gray and forlorn Warmth to fill both time and space Simple verse of son’s devotion To a strong heart I hold so dear You whose tremorless hand did motion Unsteady feet down many a year Upon this day my thanks grow bold To a woman who gives untold And someday these words I withhold “Mom, I love you, And I’ll do as I’m told” "There's nowhere to set my aim |

Remember her always...she is near. Beautiful tribute. For those who believed in me -May God keep you. There is no fear in love..For perfect love casth out all fear. |

For someone who professes to write only prose you're a darn good poet!!! This one made me cry. I loved it Abe. |

DuskTreader~ This is such a loving memorial to share. So very pleased for you that she got to see it. 'Simple verse of son’s devotion To a strong heart I hold so dear You whose tremorless hand did motion Unsteady feet down many a year' *Hugs* for your loss. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

"Timeless, ageless, rock of storm Wisdom, knowledge, spreading grace Shoo away the gray and forlorn Warmth to fill both time and space" I'm so sorry for your loss Abe, these are truly beautiful sentiments. Your love and devotion shine deeply within these lines ... such a lovely tribute to your mother. Best wishes, /Kit |

This is such a warm and loving tribute to your mother and to your love for her. I hope you post it every Mother's Day. I felt your loss but also the richness of family love. Liz |

A truly beautiful and wonderfully written tribute to a special woman...I very much so wish that I would have gotten the chance to know her better before her passing...exellent writing my love.  *Krista Knutson* |
