 From Janet's Place In Space ~**~ The arms of my sweet Mother so many times have held me Even when she was not seen with my eyes her touch I could feel and see At times I would not have been able to arise from so far falling Had I not always felt my Mothers arms and her dear sweet voice I would hear calling She has always shown affection very giving with her love The kind of person she is could only be from up above God made a special person when He created Mothers He put within something unique which is not found in many others An unconditional love He put down deep inside their hearts For no matter the actions or distance of her child this love never departs We just passed her special day the weeks are less than two So call her to just say hello if you are blessed to still have your Mother with you ~**~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (05-24-2003 09:30 PM).] |

This is beautiful Ethel and brought a lump to my throat.. My mom has been gone many years now.. But I know she will be watching today as my youngest son is being married.. I know mom will be there in spirit as I have felt her presence many times. May I keep this? I thought so.. Thank you. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Thank you, dear Nancy. I'm sorry about your Mother, but I believe, too, that she will be watching on this very special day of your son's marriage. In fact, I wouldn't be the least surprised if you happen to feel her hand holding yours today. I hope everything turns out beautifully for your son's wedding. I'm sure it will with such a special Mother as yourself. And, I would be honored for you to keep this poem. Thank you, sweet friend. Heart hugs to you,  Ethel |

El_Campeador, Oh yes, we are blessed if we still have our Mothers. Even though my Mom and Dad live in a different town than me, she and I talk on the phone three or four times a day. We're close enough that there's no long distance charges. I sure do wish that my daughter and I lived closer so it wouldn't be long-distance. One thing my Mother, my daughter and I have is the gift of talk. LOL I think it's a hereditary thing with us. HaHa!! Hugs,  Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (05-24-2003 08:27 AM).] |

Ethel, This was very heartfelt. I have lost my mother when I was twenty. I wrote her a poem once and never gave it to her. So many people let the time go and never use it to the fullest. Here is my poem that was written thirty four years ago on a piece of scrap paper that no one has ever seen. I keep in her jewerly box with her worn and broken treasures. To think I hardly know you For so many years I grew thru you and now, only now am I prepared to understand you I was little then You never had the time to know me I called you mother cried alot from wanting from needing The years have turned over many times in my mind Soon you will have passed before me Now I wish you were born twenty years ago We could be friends... To all of you who still have your moms. Tell her while you have the chance how you feel. Love your poem and thanks for making me open up her precious memory box.

Yep..all the above and more...the older I get the more I feel the blessing of having my mother still with us (and sometimes the more I believe she's gonna out live us all!!). And the more I feel the short comings of what I've done/haven't done in my life for her. Also I cherish the fun we've had -- there was a period a number of years back we literally boogied the evenings away together... thanks for bringing the thoughts up again, my friend... jwesley |

An unconditional love He put down deep inside their hearts For no matter the actions or distance of her child this love never departs I just did have a long conversation with my Mama this morning, and will be visiting her next week. I keep her close in my heart dispite the miles that separate us. We can't let money keep us apart, we just can't!! It's the best reason I can think of to run my credit cards up! It's almost time to fly!!! You write so lovingly Ethel~ Thank you for this. |

Lori, I'm so glad that you are going for a visit with your Mama. Yes, I understand the bond between a Mother and her daughter, and it's felt even though there is distance. I know you're getting excited. Thank you, friend. I appreciate you very much. Hugs, Ethel |

This is so beautiful, Ethel. I talk to my mother just about everyday. I can even see her everyday, if I want to. |

A well written poem. I can not imagine what you describe in this; I can not even grasp it on an intellectual level. All I can understand is that the person and relationship are a source of joy, solace and strength for you. I have from time to time wondered what that is like; your poem is about as close as I will get to knowing. Thank you for sharing it. |
