A Mother’s Love

 I Too CRY…

Sitting alone with just my thoughts,

My memories of you shine through.

Watching you play and run so free

When life didn’t leave a clue.

Your eyes so blue as the sky above.

Your hair blowing in the wind.

Your screams fill the air

As you rode your horse

 With a smile and a grin.

Mommy look at me…

Look and see… what I can do.

I picked this flower just for you.

Keep it close so when we are apart,

You will always remember me in your Heart.

Little did I know that flower would be

A treasure Forevermore.

I cling to your gift with all of my Might

Remembering your days before.

Life has its trials and tribulations,

But losing a child seems More.

Your heart is broken, the pain so real,

As Life continues on.

I too do cry…for you each day.

My memories get me through.

But the flower you gave me,

I keep so close,

It reminders me of YOU.

When I see a dandelion,

I smile through my tears…

Although you are gone from me today,

I know I will see you Play.

With each coming spring,

 through the summer time too

Your gift grows to the skies

And when it seeds and blows with the wind,

I feel you glide by.
