Soft, your hand across my brow...your
voice upon my ears, the pillow left to
show me how you took away my fears.

Gently lain my heart to rest upon the
cotton sheet, as all you did was Godly
blessed...and heard my every beat.

A finger wrapped within my own,
held firmly by this babe...to never
be left alone, or ever be betrayed.

A warming bath and fluffy towel
to dry and pamper me.No sounds
of wrath or angry growl to scare
or frighten me.

A shortened life from out our grasp
and carried to angels high, now
free from strife and earthly clasp
alone we softly cry....

Happy Mother’s Day...I love you Momma...

  oh my  tears  falling like the rain
outside~

   touched the heart and moved the soul

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

Soft and gentle are the words that come from a heart so filled with tender love...You reflect the love you have for your mother in a way that brings tears to the eyes of this reader...Incredible writing that touches the soul...**hugs**

I could never say it as well as you just did Barry.

Your loving and gentle Mom gave birth to a loving and gentle son...

You would make any mother happy, Dear Barry.
