Mother Dear

feathers and butterflies

an angel visited today

it's the essence of a love one

whom so long ago went

home to stay

and cardinal birds

have graced tree limb's shade 

with such delight

as sunday's sunlight fade

softly to the hush of night

 

it's when you feel

their presence

of our dear ones

those souls who have

passed on and taken flight..

their spirits in silence

seem to whisper

never fear my dear

I am here..all is well

and I'm alright.

I do understand the poem dear Fran.
"their spirits in silence
seem to whisper
never fear my dear
I am here..all is well
and I'm alright."
The above lines. Wonderful and true. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

So comforting if you are blessed with the presence of a departed spirit. How wonderful that you felt your mum's presence after so many years. Totally relatable Fran Marie. Beautiful work and touching sentiment expressed. Have a good weekend.

[Fran Marie]

Oops m y bad
thanks again😊

[Chris Shaw]

No worries, it was nice to get a belated wish and I did have a lovely day :)

I am so fortunate that I still have my mother; and though there are occasional times in reflection, when I accept that one day this will not be so, there is a comfort in the knowing that memories, like love, are forever.

Those last two lines in particular, touched me deeply.

Beccy.

my mom passed in 2014, and since no Mothers Day has been easy....this is so serene...
I feel her presence often, especially watching the birds....she was such a bird lover...she and my dad had several feeders for different kinds.

different ways I know she
is near..mothers are so special
with their kind gentle ways
I feel their spirit continues to
watch over us..thanks so

this one..

This was beautiful, both the words and the sentiment they expressed. I lost my mom in 2011 so I can relate to this on a very personal level. My mom loved her birds and flowers too. Very much enjoyed your poem, F.

[Fran Marie]

I too have lost my mother
the void is still deeply felt
within my heart..i feel where
you're coming from..a mother
is a treasure to behold forever
Thanks Fabian ; for your words
glad you enjoyed;

dearest Fran... I believe in the spirit of birds, especially Cardinals... they are more alert and cautious than most birds. I believe that our Spirit lives on, because every new born baby is born with a spirit. Someday we will know the exact details... but not too soon. gently, Pat

[Fran Marie]

I know right..
the spirit does
live on in certain
ways..i have cardinals
and watch them while
sitting out in back and this
most perch on the tree limbs
but this one cardinal
alights on my trucks
outside mirror looks
at himself then hops
on the roof and then back
the mirror
back and forth
Does this flag about
15 minutes and then back
to the tree..several times
a day..curious little birds
I think..thanks Pat so
much for reveing

[Patricia Wedel]

Excellent entertainment! Cardinals are very alert and seem to know where they can Relax and enjoy Life. Love the way they take care of their young Fledglings... Happy Mothers Day Month iof May 2020. tenderly, Pat
