Missing my mom

MOTHER’S DAY LOVE
 
My mom, Arla Overson Phelps,
died on September 12, 2001
after a prolonged illness. I miss her
so very much and I dedicate this to
her ....Happy Mother's Day, Mom.





If you were still here I’d call you,
and share all the love in my heart.
If you were still here I know you’d say
how you hate that we’re so far apart.



If you were still here we’d sit and talk,
we’d laugh and share our good times.
If you were still here I’d tell you again
how I love you, dear mother of mine.



But God called you home some time ago,
though often I still feel you near,
I almost can feel your hand on my face
reaching out to dry all my tears.



So I will stand out in the sunlight today,
and give thanks to my Father above,
for my life with you was a blessing,
and mom, you still have all my love.
