Just wishing all the mothers a happy Mother’s Day and please please take the time to make a call and wish your mother happy Mother’s Day and that you love her very much, unfortunately I lost my mom about a week ago (not from covid19) and we just buried her yesterday, here is a poem that I wrote and said at her gravesite

When I was just a little boy
my mommy gave me a new toy
as I looked at it with glee
mom had a look that made her see
what a great boy that she loved dearly
and what happiness in her heart that showed freely

As we grow older with our family
mom showed true kindness with all sincerity

her patience and love is what she had
to share with us and teach us to be glad

It was hard work to raise five boys then
lots of patience was her message to send

Our thoughts begin to show
how much she left behind
with her strength and legacy
we come into our hearts to find

When days go bad
and I look for inspiration
her love that she gave me
taught me my true traditions

As I look for guidance
in these rough times
all I have to do
is think of my mom’s rhymes

As I look in the mirror
at myself as I see
my mom’s majestic beauty
winking back at me

As we stand here
with her blood in our veins
her love and compassion runs strong
every day again and again

Our hearts are heavy
with our thoughts as we feel today
but if we think of the happiness that she left with us
she won’t feel so far away

But one day
we will meet once again
and feel her inner love
We will feel to no end

Sorry for your loss, Snomoman. My 92-year old mother was recently diagnosed with cancer. It made me realize that I'm still not ready to lose her, or I guess I never will be.

Thank you John, dfattack & blkhwkbob for the kind words, it’s been a week since I posted the thread and I have visited it a few times to read the poem back to myself, it seems to help heal me in a way somehow, thanks to all who took the time to read it
I will send thoughts and prayers for your mother blkhwkbob

I haven't been on line much lately, nonetheless, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I don't think anyone is really "prepared" for such a loss, no matter our age. Your writing of such a memorable life with your mom speaks volumes. Nicely done, stay strong. -Mezz
