I wrote this poem a while ago, but as Mothers Day approaches, this poem always comes to mind.
**********************
Although you left five years ago
Still I always miss you so—
Your laugh, your smile
Your love; and all the while
You are still my guiding light; my North Star–
It doesn’t matter where you are;
Always in my heart and mind
So many times I also find
Your kindness, grace and love—
Whether here or above,
Including your often wicked side
That you never ever tried to hide;
How we laughed and how we loved!
You are always with me, and always loved.
