Dear Mother...

This poem is my Mother's Day present to my mom.

  

Your heartbeat was my lifeline

Before the world knew I existed.

 

Your soul is what molded me

Into the man I strive to be.

 

Your love continues to be

         My guidance when I falter

         My strength when I am down

         My friends when I am alone.

 

Though I miss you with all my heart

I know God must have needed you,

And can’t blame him for that.

 

I still take comfort in our conversations

Through the gentle breezes.

 

I feel unconditional pride

When I see your smile on the sunlight.

 

I await my arrival to heaven

Know you will greet me beyond the gates.

 

Till that time I will…

 

Use freedom to be the man I want to be

 

Use courage to be the men I need to be.

 

Most importantly cherish this life you gave me.

Very sweet tribute to your late mother. Nice to see you brought this out for today!

[Constance-Outspoken]

The greatest thing about being a mother is feeling needed. I'm sure that yours always felt so, with you around. Beautiful ode to a woman who was the only woman in the world to you, in the beginning. Thank you for sharing... it reminds me that no matter what else I accomplish in life, my children are the greatest achievement, and they will remember.

Beautiful, Dale. You're mother is alive in your heart
and therefore never forgotten; as this poem reflects.
Blessings!

What a truly beautiful piece. It's a wonderful tribute to your mom. I join you in celebrating Mother's Day for my mom in heart and spirit as she passed away when I was only 21, many years ago. I'm glad you wrote and posted that. It really is touching.
