Mom!


Mom, I see you sitting in your chair,
Your face serene, your grey hair fair,
My mind strips away the years,
The countless times you wiped my tears

Never failing, always there for me,
But this I so often did not see,
I owe so very, very much to you,
Times of trouble, you got me through

A caring and kind word there,
Always a nurturing smile to spare,
Forever a guiding light,
Constant and unending bright

Solace from life’s storm,
Always loving and true to form,
You saw things I could never see,
But, you were always there to warn me

And even when I was patently wrong,
Your kind words a soothing song,
Your quiet wisdom I always admired,
Sound advice in life sired

And now, as the years slowly fade,
As soft memories silently parade,
There is something you need to know,
Mom, I will always love you so!
