Wild Flowers to My Mother

I saw your smile in the shimmer of the ocean

I heard your voice in the bird’s song

I sensed your gentle being in the wind

and you hugged me when the rain came.

You let me know you loved the bouquet

of hepatica we brought to your hospital room

on the morning of your last day, Mother’s Day

and you thanked me for growing up without you.

*

Remembering that day, I cried

you talked to me softly in the breeze

comforting thoughts of love and wisdom

and I picked all the wild flowers for you.

    1. Thanks for your hugs – my eyes teared up as well reading your wonderful comment. I lost my mom to cancer when I was just a teenager. But she’s always been with me, in my heart.

  1. Thank you for visiting my blog today. I appreciate the time you took to stop by. May your day be filled with joy and peace.
    BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

Would love to hear your thoughts!
