Happy Mother’s Day
May 8,2011
By Rose Marie Rideout

I went to church this morning,
And as I looked around,
I saw the smiling faces,
As I bent my head down.

I saw them with their Mothers,
As proud as they could be,
Then I looked up to Heaven,
There you were looking down on me.

I know you are always with me,
But some things change in life,
I saw Bern and Gertie with you,
as you stood by dad, his loving wife.

I feel you breath around me,
Your smell is in the air,
And mostly on my down days,
I know that you are near,

Life is often far too short,
As some may not see,
Tomorrow they may turn round,
There Mother may not be.

So love her while you have her,
Tell her every single day,
Don’t wait until she’s gone
And God has taken her away.

I will always love you Mom
