I want to dedicate a poem to you
For on this special day
Let it be known to everyone
What makes this--Mother's Day.
When I was small you sang to me
And tucked my blankets in
When I was scared you lay by me
Until the dawn--shone in.
I still recall the memories
The fun filled days and nights
Although its been so many years
Since I have held you tight.
You gave us all you had to give
No child could ask for more
You were the envy of everyone
Whether they were rich or poor.
You made our house more than a home
Where friends and family came
To talk and visit with us
Time and time again.
Then as time went by and you were ill
The sparkle in your eyes
Still shone beyond the pool of tears
Still shone beyond the cries.
I can still hear your laughter sometimes at night
When the wind is calm and still
I can still see a twinkle in the stars
When the skies are beautifully filled.
I know you know we miss you
Far more than words can say
I know you know we love you
With each and every day.
So as we lay our flowers
Upon the ground so still
Remember our precious moments
Of the laughter and the thrills
You gave to each and everyone
No matter where or when
That's why I can't forget you
That's why there is no end.
To a love that grows within our hearts
Our mom you'll always be
The best one in the whole wide world
There are no doubts for me.
So sleep my dear and rest in peace
And dad sends his love too
But you already knew this---
Just because,you're you.

I dedicated this poem to my grandma Mitchell
