A birthday wish for my mom which is October 10, 1929. Was called into enternal rest with the Lord
on August 20, 2001

Dear Mom, I'd write a poem for you,
if only I knew how
I'd write about your tender touch,
wisps of hair across your brow
The twinkle in your gentle eyes,
the smile on your sweet lips
How you'd pretend to scold me,
your hands upon your hips

Oh how I miss the talks we had,
the secrets we two shared
Oh how I miss just knowing,
how very much you cared
I find myself still reaching ...
for the telephone ...
Then realize ... you are not there ..
and feel suddenly alone

I never got to say thank you ...
for all you did for me
Or tell you what is in my heart ...
and in my memory
Memories are bitter sweet ...
that's what the poets say
I wish I could write a poem for you
On your Birthday.


Happy Birthday Mom, she would be turning 79
I love you with all my heart wishing I could celebrate with you, but i am celebrating in my heart

God Bless,
Karen

She is in a better place.
Keep your head up and her memory alive!
