On your special day
I just wanted to say
I wish I could be there
To take away your cares

Look deep into my eyes
They hold no clouded lies
Just warm rays of love
Cascading from heaven above

You, my friend, always see
The good that’s inside of me
Amazing me with your perception
Ignoring the many imperfections

If I were there with you
Here is what I would do
I’d sit with you face to face
Telling you the importance of your place

You’ve made a difference in my life
Helping me to ease the strife
I know you’ll always care
Your compassion is so rare

We’ll walk hand in hand
Together across the land
Because of you I’ve been saved
Finding the strength to be brave

My spiritual mother and friend
Please stay with me to the end
In my heart your flower blooms
As my passion for writing now resumes

This is for you on Mother’s Day
There are no words left to say
A bond such as this is one of a kind
Today thoughts of you fill my mind

Please know I love you very much
Close your eyes and feel my touch
Wrapping you in my presence
As we bask in life’s quintessence



All writing comes
by the grace of God.
