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.
