My Treasure – For Mom
I look back on these years
To see how far I’ve come and grown,
I take a trip down memory lane,
And what I see has shown ….That every step I’ve taken,
You have been there by my side …
From infancy to adulthood,
We’ve stood the test of time.You cradled me and nurtured me,
Through all these many years;
You held me and did comfort me,
Through happiness and tears.You’d pick me up when I would fall,
You’d dust me off and then,
Encourage me to get back on
That horse and ride again.Your constant care and loving,
And your warm inviting heart,
Has always been a treasure that
I knew would n’er depart.If I could be “just half” the person
You have been to me …
Then you have taught me well dear mom,
For in my heart I see …A woman whose most gentle soul,
Embraces me each day …
A woman whom I dearly love,
Much more than words can say.
Remembering My Mother
Mother’s day is celebrated around the world to honor mother and motherhood. I lost my mother 8 years ago on this day , which was mother’s day in 2004.
For me May every year brings bitter sweet memories. Its the month of my daughter’s birthday and death anniversary of my mother. It feel so uncomfortable even today. I shared a strong bond with my mother and after her death I felt my world stopped but it never did. It never stops, no matter what befalls you. The heaviness that I had in my heart slowly eased up. I moved on with routine life for people who loved me and were alive. I realize my grief was blocking all the good memories that I had shared with my mother. After all it is a natural thing that happens to all human beings. No one has control over death. Life just moves on.
I miss her a lot but treasure her memories in my heart. Sharing this piece by Kim Mc Callum on mother’s day.
