FOR MY MOTHER

Within my heart,
My mother is dear,
When she held me in her arms,
I always felt secure.

 

In times of sadness,
Or times of pain,
She comforted me,
As my tears fell like rain.

 

A shield to the outside world,
Never a safer place,
At the times I felt weakest,
She was there as a brace.

 

This feeling I’ll remember,
No matter how old,
A warm embrace from someone so close,
Is more valuable than gold.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm closer to my mother than I am to anybody else and happily dedicate this to her
My Mother just passed shortly before Thanksgiving 2011 and I sent her off with these words.
I hope one day to save enough money to engrave them on a headstone for her.
Rest in peace mom, you will be missed.
