Another perspective, viewing yourself from your mother's eyes
No one is here at my call and beck
A time to sit and recollect.
About long ago and a place in time,
back when I was your , “child of mine”.
Looking down on me, from my mother’s eyes;
Did her hopes unfold with all my tries?
Did her dreams for me all come true ?
Was I worthy in everything and all that I do?
Her priceless tears without conditions she shed
I lie wondering in prayer every night in bed.
Is she smiling at me for what am I ?
Just thinking of it can make me cry.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m just alright.
It’s just crossing my mind on this quiet night.
I miss her voice, my mother’s wit
She went back home to rest a bit.
I know she wants the best for me
and I pray for her life, eternally.
Her closeness seems so far, near to mine.
Is she pleased with me, her, “child of mine.”
This is another example of your gentle and loving heart, Kimmy. A beautiful poem that radiates with love and tender insight. I miss my mother too -- my best friend.
Love,
CJ
