Laying warm in your embrace,
You looked down at my little face,
Your heart swelling with a mother’s love,
Your gentle smile shone so brightly above.
You were there throughout the years,
A guiding light chasing away all my fears,
You watched me as I grew into the sky,
I know you were nervous as I learned to fly.
Wisdom & love was your gift to me,
You gave me sight when I was blind to see.
You protected me with the fierceness of a mama bear,
And always made the effort to be just & fair.
I have always appreciated you in my life,
Even during our times of strife.
I feel so very blessed to have had you as a mother,
You hold such a special place in my heart, reserved for no other.
But now, even though, time has taken you away,
I know you’ll be by my side, during each day.
An angel watching so tenderly over her young;
Her precious child on which the moon & stars are hung.
