I read this poem to my mother just now, because she has dementia ( Lewy-body) and today forgot that she had lost her mother decades ago. She was wanting to meet her in our town today. When she remembered her mom had died many years ago, she cried and dad and I comforted her. I read this poem to her, and it brought her SUCH comfort. She smiled at me, and said That's a good poem. Thanks for using your gift to touch our hearts. God bless you. Always write, you have a gift.

This is such a beautiful and touching poem for your mother It brought back dear memories of my mom too and I would sure look for her if heaven had a window!...M

Randy Alcorn, a favorite author of mine, has a book called simply "Heaven." It could help answer some of your questions.
You might be blessed by some of my poems..."Does Mother Miss Me?" "Journey on a Golden Street" "Her Life Goes on" "Seeing The Son" It's so hard, only God knows how each of us grieves, but He is there to help us through.

What a very lovely poem and its message speak for you and all the love you hold inside your heart for your mother. To leave such beautiful memories is part and parcel for the undying love you have for you mother.

Dear Kathy,
In your latest poem, the last line reads.
"That once upon a time I was blessed and loved its true ,
and if heaven had a window I'd only look for you".
I may add:
You are STILL loved and blessed for it is so true
For God has blessed you with an eternal memory of having a mother that truly loves you
That love will remain in your heart and will forever bring lasting comfort to you

This is a special blessing that many children that I visit do not have. So consider yourself blessed eternally.

Amen

This is really good, Kathy!!
Well-expressed!
