Mothers Way (Revised)

You gave me, my first kiss that showed me love. God placed me in your welcoming arms, This daughter from Heaven above. You gave me knowledge and wisdom, Showed me how to live. So many days spent with me, Teaching me how to give. You gave me courage, strength, And the feeling of pride Were always near  When I needed to cry. This bond formed between us Has lasted all these years. Yours was the only voice,  That chased away my fears. With love surrounding me, Day after day Comfort I depended on, Led me in a secure way. You let my spirit soar, Loved me just for who I am. With Gods best intentions It was a beautiful plan. Thank you mom today and everyday For loving me, your daughter in your own special way.

Additional Notes:
In loving memory of my mom. I wrote this for her for Mothers Day, in 2001 and posted it here. This is a simple piece, written from my heart that I wanted to share with all of you, one more time.

DeniMarie, This is a wonderful tribute to your mother and surely as you and I believe in celestial grace, you were blessed to have this wonderful person of which you speak; be your mother-- a gift to you and her both. Thank you for sharing such an intimate look into your relationship with this well penned easy read. Lora

You certainly were blessed poet when the Lord placed you in your mother's waiting arms.......such beauty, love, joy, togetherness felt within the lines. A tribute indeed to a wonderful mom........she is now your special angel as well watching over you from above. I feel the same about my own mom.......my first poem ever was for my mom, again like you on Mother's Day........I named it Cycle of a Mother's Love...........she loved it.......I was fortunate that she was here to share it with me then and now she too is in God's Heavenly Garden watching over me............I am happy to say you posted this again to share with us once more, it is a treasure to keep forever. Thanks, take good care and God Bless, Claire

Hi Denimari...I'm glad you shared this heartfelt poem with us. It is very lovely and written with emotion, passion and love for your Mom. You have used a nice rhyme scheme that is musical and sounds wonderful, especially when read aloud. I hope you are doing well. It will be quite sometime before the pain of losing your Mom becomes bearable...but eventually it will and you will hold her memory in a very special place in your heart. Blessings....Marilyn

DeniMari, You were soooooo blessed. Not many can appreciate as well what the word 'mother' means. It seems she was educated somewhere in knowing how to nuture. And if she did it/taught it to you, you in turn taught it to yours and they will teach it to theres. And the wonderfulness continues. Your mom sounds like the gal I needed as my mom. How blessed you were and you acknowledge that in this poem. May your children write the same of you. Dellena
