Mother's Day

I dedicate this to my wonderful Mother. She has always been my strength, my hope, my love, my everything.......MY MOTHER!




HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL!

I would like to share with you a poem that I wrote for my Mother to help her when she lost her MOTHER, a wonderful woman, my GRANDMOTHER, BONNIE MARIE GIBSON! GRANDMA, WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!

DEAR DAUGHTER

My precious baby girl,
Please, do not cry.
I had to leave you in this world,
But I would never say goodbye.

You know I'm with you always,
And I will always be.
Do not be sad, my Daughter,
Some day you'll be with me.

My life HERE is so perfect,
No pain is there for me.
And I've saved a special place here,
For your soul when its set free.

Whenever you get sad,
And lonely, as you do.
Just raise your eyes to HEAVEN,
I am right HERE with you.

Now, carry on, dear DAUGHTER,
Live life the best you can.
Remember, when you need me,
I'm THERE, holding your hand.

Absolutely wonderful - got me all teared up! My mom's been gone for 24 years now - I still miss her just as much as ever! I hate that I have nobody in my life to send a mother's day card to anymore and as sappy as some of those cards can be, my son has never heard of Hallmark I guess, so he never gets me one.

What a beautiful poem, thank you for sharing, and thank you for inviting others to donate to cancer research. I lost my father to cancer almost five years ago, and I'm very passionate about supporting cancer research. Happy VGNO and happy Mother's Day!
