A TRIBUTE TO A VERY SPECIAL MOTHER .
A person dear ,yet very small not even 5ft tall,
And yet you made us feel wanted,precious,and irreplaceable.
Even when we acted like some ,silly fool,
As our Mother you brought us endless joys with your strength ,and wisdom ,
given freely to your girls and boys.
Dear Mother we thank you for your kindness,and patience,all ways their as
we entered through your door.
As our Mother you loved us,even when we were unlovable ,
even when i had to leave you ,as i moved quite unforgivable .
Dear Mother i miss so our little chats on my telephone ,
The gossip and your laughter ,and sometimes your telling of tone .
How i miss seeing you ,sitting in your bed ,rapped in your woolen shawl ,
Smelling of lavender and looking so small .
I also remember our bad days ,when you stood before a near em ply cupboard,
and we would hear you say ,
Let me see love , what can we have today ,milk and eggs meant a pancake ,
no food meant a story until we ,could no longer stay awake.
Mother i remember to ,when i was very small and afraid of the dark ,
You would make hand puppets on our wall,to make me laugh .
A Mothers love is their ,as free as the air ,
yet one day when it has gone ,life was so hard to bare .
As dear Mother you have fallen forever a sleep ,
i know you would not want for me to weep .
One day i know we will be together again ,
Then i know i will no longer fill this pain .
