Moms

| Joanne, May 2016 |
Moms are made of lovely things.
They see everything, know everything,
are everywhere, and do everything for us.
It is no wonder children have moms.

Children need mothers!

or from anywhere, we shout out for them,
wait to hear their voices, and when hearing it,
we know we are safe and all is well.

we write, phone, and text, Facebook her,
just to say hello, just to know
she is there for us—once again.

When they take their last breath,
we sometimes do the same,
revert to when we were children,
calling for our mothers, crying for them,
 |
| Darrel, Joanne, and their beautiful and intelligent grandchildren |
wondering whether they are hearing.
What comforts me is the knowledge
that she is still there,
watching over me,
understanding everything I am going through,
smiling as I continue to grow and develop,
crying with me when troubles arise,
and applauding the good that I do.
Each and every day I remember her,
feel her presence, and then on Mother’s Day,
we raise our voices and praise her,
our mothers, no matter where they live,
here or there beyond the veil.
She is our mother, alive or living.
Happy Mother's Day!
