3 YEARS since you've been gone!
Mother,
Today marks 3 years the Lord decided to take you from me
Today, I celebrate the life you lived
And the blessing that you were to me
I remember you, I feel you
I listen to your favorite hymns
And wear similar shoes that you loved
Strange how I unconsciously begin to mimic you as I grow older
I remember how you helped me to grow
with love, truth, and honesty.
I remember how you helped me to choose the right path
With values, morals, and self worth.
I remember how you gave me dreams
With hope and confidence
As I remember, I pray to be a mother like you,
To shape my children into strong adults,
Full of hopes and dreams.
You made me who I am today
And I will always remember you in life's passings
For no one could touch my life as you have.
Sleep on sweet mother!
