A Mother's Goodbye.

For anyone who has lost their Mother - my prayer is with you! This was written for my Grandmother (My Mother's, Mother). However I do dedicate it to all Mother's no longer with us!

A stare of blindness,

A touch of prayer,

A cast of silence,

Your no longer there.

A Mother's touch,

A heart of gold,

A mind of secrets,

None you told.

A home you made,

A home for all,

A home that's safe,

The home did fall.

A Mother is gone,

An angel is born,

A memory has left,

Her children torn.

A love has not stopped,

A love is still here,

A love is forever,

Her love is near.

Author's Note

I wrote this almost like a prayer, for those great Mother's no longer with us.

This is so beautiful, and simple, and true -- now I know this poem has had over 600 views, and I would not be able to go thru them all, but the first your seems like it should be you're, but was pointed out previously, so maybe you intended it that way.

This is simply lovely!....having lost my father at a young age, I can well appreciate the sacrifices my mother made, and just what she means to me. This says it all so perfectly. Beautifully expressed, lovingly penned.

Nothing like a mother's love precious as gold. Beautiful prayer devotion. :)

My own mother is dying and I am her caregiver...I watch her waste away a bit more each day. So this was a particularly personal write for me. It is sad and beautiful and most eloquent...I would LOVE to hear you read it! Excellent!
