You held our hands as we crossed the street, shortening your steps to match ours. And when we were tired, you lifted us up and carried us. As we grew older, we walked side by side, sharing each others stories. And when we were tired, we shared each others troubles, and lifted each others spirits.

Mom

I remember everything about you,
your voice, your smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,
the way you looked at me, meant so much.

I remember all the words you said to me,
some funny, some kind, some wise,
all of the things you did for me,
I see now with different eyes.

I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
It's really hard to say.

You are gone from me now,
but one they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days...

Thank you for the laughter..
For the good times that we shared..
Thanks for always listening..
For trying to be fair..
Thank you for your comfort when things were
going bad..
Thank you for your shoulder to cry on when I was sad..
All my lifetime through I'll be thanking heaven
for a SPECIAL FRIEND & MOTHER like you.
