Happy Birthday Mom

I wrote this on my mothers birthday the first year she had passed away. It was a way of healing my soul.

   Happy Birthday Mom

                         I wish i could call you and hear your voice.
                         In this decision i have no choice.
                         I would tell you i love you, and miss you so,
                         I would tell you i love you,and hear your soul glow.
                         The distance between us is much more than miles.
                         The things i miss most are your hugs and your smiles.
                         I am very grateful i was in your last year.
                         I didn't know it would end in sadness and tears.
                         The garden we had , and the coffee we shared
                         These i would not trade not even for hair.
                         So happy birthday from your eldest son.
                         Your life in eternity has only begun.

This is a wonderful memory and tribute to her... I lost mine on July 4th 2010..and she lived with me for 7 years... the hole in my world, heart and home has at times been so deep and unbearable.. Thank you for sharing your memories with all of us..xx
