Mom at 17 Mom later
My mother had a hard life, with not a lot of money and a lot of strife but she never let anything get her down.She was always there if you needed a smile or a little bit of cheer. Though as I said we never had a lot of money growing up she always found something whether it be food clothing or funds to help someone who needed it. As she put it they needed it more than we did. The greatest, most patient teacher, I ever had was my mother who taught me to read and how to do fractions and other math equations.
Her heart as big as the ocean, her kindness knew no bounds and we still have people with no blood ties that we consider family just because mom had them stay with us when they had trouble at home. Our friends were always welcome and they'd even go to her for advice.
When ever I needed her she was there even if she struggled health wise herself. I know everyone says they had the best mother in the world but we really did.
My heart still broken
With words unspoken
Words reverberate in the stratosphere
Of wisdom and love
Coming down through the breeze
I’ll see you in the morning sun
And in the morning dew
As it glints over the grass
And over the time and space
I feel your presence
You haven’t left me
You’re with me still
And as I navigate through life
Your love will see me through
I will think of you mom
Dream of better times
Having fun chatting,dancing
Singing, while doing chores
Seeing the good, in even the bad,
For there's always tomorrows in store.
Mother you taught me well,
For your kindness reverberates
In everything I do
My children remember you
In deeds too.
You will live in our memories.
For one day we will
see you again, Mother,
This was never adieu,
So Happy Birthday Mom.
I love you still~©Sheilagh Lee November 15, 2013
