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.
