My mom died December 26th, 1998.
I miss her so very much!
This poem is for her !
TO MOM
Once upon a time
you told me
"child, when you grow up
you will be beautiful
and intelligent
charming
and talented"
And, it has always made me wonder
if you really
thought those things
or were you
trying to make me
think I could be
those things.
For with those things
missing so often
I've come to think
you were looking
at me
through
the eyes of love.
Tonight I'm remembering your words....
words of love
words of praise
words of encouragement.
Tonight
I'm missing you
so very, very much!
There are days
I get very busy
and I might seem
to be very far away
from you
but I'm not!
I'm there with you
in the deepest part
of my heart!
Just remember
I will always
try to live up
to your hopes
and beliefs
about me.
Remember
I do love you
dearly
beyond
all time
and space
and limitations!
-Margie
Samuru, I understand as I have sailed like you. Mother is the one who encourages , cares and loves to give the best in our lives. She is the main root and we follow as branches.
ReplyDeleteDear Margie, I miss my mother as we live in different countries now. But I can't even imagine a world without her. Even the thought trembles me.
ReplyDeleteI love my mother and I can feel your emotions through your poem.
Lovely Margie. What a tribute. I have the feeling your Mom still hovers about in spirit.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful hand stuck through the veil, to touch, to hold, to believe. Very, very good!!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, thoughtful, truthful.
I lost my Dad in 80 and I feel the same way. If we are lucky enough to have had great parents they never really leave us do they?
Margie..Beautiful tribute to your mother.I lost my mother also.There is not a day that goes by when I dont think of her and remember what she taught me. I try to live my life like her.I have a long way to go but I want to be like her.she was a beautiful, loving,caring human being. The good die young.
ReplyDeletewow, this is so lovely, I feel u on this one, I dnt even know what I'd do with myself if anything happens to my mum, she's both mother and father to us, our dad died when we were still small.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure ur mum wld hv bn proud of u if she were here,and I believe that where she is rite now, she's still proud of her lovely daughter.
Beautiful! I know that she received this poem up in heaven.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this.
beautiful!
ReplyDeleteshe would have been proud of you...
Very touching. Thank you for sharing your heart. I feel both of our moms smiling through the veil now :-)
ReplyDeleteMargie, I have no words to describe how touching your poem is. I could feel the love and sorrow at the same time. She is in your heart, always guiding you and watching over you. Beautiful poem. (loss of words...)

ReplyDeleteYou said, "I love my mother, and I can feel your emotions through your poem"
I have to tell you... it was not easy to write between wiping away
tears... and trying to type!
But, love makes us do things that
make us happy and sad at the same time!
My mom helped me write that poem!
Take care!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
It was a funny thing about this poem! Well... not funny... more
strange!
I was going to post a poem about
my dog Sammy who died last year...
and, I had the poem all ready to post.
And, then I started to think about
my mom... I remembered those words
she once said to me( the ones I
started my poem with)
And, from there... I just continued writing the poem.
I felt like she was right there
beside me.... is it possible she
really could have been?
All I know is I had no intention
of putting that poem on here ...
till I started to write the words.
As I was writing it... I was kind of a mess... as I could not hold
back the tears!
But, I did finish it... and I was so happy!
Take care!
-Margie

ReplyDeleteWell... I have been crying here
tonight too... as I read all the
sweeet words everyone shared with
me about my poem.
I am sure it must be so hard to imagine a life without your mom...
but, noone lives forever.
We just have to make sure we
give all our love to those
special people in our lives
while they are here... they can be gone with 'a blink of an eye'
Take care!
HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGZ!
Smile!

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

Margie u really made me think there...cos just 2days ago I had this stupid argument with my mum and for teh first time in many years I havent spoken to her for 2 whole days. Well to be honest she said something that really hurt me and even tho I forgave her I feel so sad by what she said...thats why I dun wanna talk to her even tho it was nuttin major. I just have to get it outta my system b4 I can be normal with her.
ReplyDelete**noone lives forever.
